January 25

We started our day in the library where students completed a scavenger hunt and had time to find a book for independent reading time.

Today's writer's notebook entry: "I am a part of everything that I have read." Theodore Roosevelt. Here are a few guidelines when responding to quotes. The quote is not a riddle, or a puzzle for you to "solve." You don't have to try to "figure it out." There's no "right answer," nothing specific that I'm looking for. It's not a test. All you need to do is write what you think; not necessarily what you think it means, or what the person was trying to say, but whatever it means to you, whatever it makes you think of. The quote is just there to get you thinking, to give you ideas, a place to start.

With the remaining class time, students completed the theme work from yesterday and began working  with a partner on a characterization activity. We'll resume this work on Tuesday.

Coming up on Monday, January 29, the counselors will be presenting information about course selection for the 2018-2019 school year in the auditorium; the session for rising sophomores (class of 2020) begins at 7:30pm.
