This week is slightly different from your calendar because it took us longer to get through presentations. Even still, it is not a big deal because I gained a whole week this week since graduation is a week later than I had thought! :)
Finally I am publishing the pictures of some of the AP projects! Better late than never.
This week is totally independent work. I am anxious to hear your presentations later this week. Check out the countdown clock!!!

I really hope this is a good week for you all and you enjoy getting some freedom of choice in what you are reading! I also want to say that I appreciate that you all enjoyed The Alchemist so much. It was a great discussion and I am so glad.

You are then off on Friday and Monday! Another break!!!
The first nine weeks is now behind us. All grades are starting over, completely fresh and new. Everyone has a clean slate, if you will. Now is the time to decide to change the habits from last grading period, if you weren't happy with your grades. Now is the time to reinforce the good habits and attitudes from last grading period, if you are pleased with the results. But whatever you choose to do for the next nine weeks, there are still nine more weeks of school. Nine more weeks of assignments, tests, projects, and grades... I don't know about you, but I am happy to have nine weeks left with you guys. I have said already that this has truly been the most fun I have ever had teaching AP. I am so enjoying the subject matter and each of you and your unique personalities. Thanks for making my job fun, if not always easy! You might have heard it said, "Choose a job you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life." I can testify to that statement and I can say to you that it is the best advice I could give as far as your future and your career.
31? Can anyone say 31? Because if my calculations are correct, you have 31 school days left until graduation. (And since I am a little unclear about the exam dates, it might be less than that!!!) Now if that's not good news for the Monday after Spring Break, I don't know what is. Right??? So let's pep it up here and smile. It's all downhill from here!
