Dear viewers,
I have no time to post anything significant; eight days left in AP, 12 with Brit. lit., and 16 or so til graduation. So much to do and so little time!
Sincerely,
Me

Compulteely Fulbgasted...
Got that????
I'm scoring the 4th grade North Carolina writing exam w/ Pearson and it's amazing how 4th graders can kill the spelling of a word they wanna use no matter what. (The phrase above is "completely flabbergasted," btw)....
And I can definitely spot the kids who have dyslexic tendencies..."I wnet to teh sotre adn bote mlik." ("I went to the store and bought milk.") Plus, I have an awesome, new simile to add to my repetiore: "I was as confused as a dog trying to figure out colors." Hot off the press! Good one! Then again, some of those kids write as well as/if not better than some of our 9th graders.
NYC was great. Love that city. I led a group around and thought I did a pretty good job. We didn't get lost and we did a lot of trekking/shopping around given the time we had. I could be accused of walking a bit fast, though. Sorry, girls. Wasn't that 14-block sprint in eight minutes fun, fun fun?!?!? Back to work now. Five weeks left with seniors. I'm ready for another break already. :)
Oh, Ben: change "Taccoa," please...oh, and welcome to America courtesy of Ellis Island; you know, in case I forgot to tell ya years ago....
