A Great Week!

This has been a great week! We started by reading our first class novel, Scorpions by Walter Dean Myers. Class novels are fun to teach because there are so many ways to make the stories come alive for the students. Novels are a great way to teach students how to draw conclusions and make inferences. I always try to get them to "read between the lines" and tell me things about the story that aren't necessarily written on the pages.

On another note, our football team won again improving our season record to 3-0. We are currently on a 3-year, 17-game unbeaten streak. As the head coach, it is so rewarding to see how the players' hard work in practice pays off for them in the games. As I said, this has been a great week!
