Hello! Several students have mentioned that they want to do class standouts for our end of the year potluck on Friday, June 19th. If you are interested in being on the committee, please comment here so I can get in touch with you.

Merci beaucoup!

TPOL Schedule and Rubric

Just a quick public service announcement to let you know that the TPOL Schedule and Rubric are up on my DP. Feel free to peruse them. We'll be going over everything on Monday in class. Enjoy your weekend!

Do you Have these at Home?

Hey kids, I was wondering if you could help me out? My friends and I are doing a photo scavenger hunt. I'm looking for the following items to take a picture with. I have to be in the picture with them, so I was wondering if you could bring them into school if you have them. They are:

1. A Mister Potato Head


2. A Barbie Doll


3. Pink Toy Car


4. Does anyone know of a house in their neighborhood that still has its Christmas lights up?

That's it for now. Thanks you wonderful people.

The Twilight Series

I admit that I've been wanting to read the Twilight series, if only to be up to snuff on the references that so many of you make in class about the main characters and storyline. Does anyone have the complete set that I could borrow over the summer?

I live in Point Loma, so if you're close, I could borrow one at a time if that makes you less nervous (I'm very protective of my books myself!) Let me know!

Editor's Roundtable Pics!

I'm so proud of how hard you all worked on your This I Believe essays. I'm enjoying reading your final drafts over the weekend. Only three weeks more weeks left of school and only five more days until exhibition. I cannot wait to see your silhouettes highlighted next to these essays!

Here are some of the pictures I took yesterday of you editing your peer's drafts. See you all on Monday!
