A Few Things...

We are in that frantic place where there aren't as many days left as there are words to say and things feel chaotic and plans get adjusted and the end is coming and it's happening and there is nothing I can do to stop it and there is so much more to read and to write and to say and to impart and .... AUGH! :)

That's a little look into my mind. I did just want to clarify a few things here.

1. Tuesday, 5/2, will be a day of periods 2, 3, and 1, so we won't have this class until the last period of the day. In addition, all of you will be with me for the entire two hours. We will be doing some last minute centering and I will have something for you. (The Flurry of Frenetic Focus mentioned on your to do list will be part of tomorrow.)

2. Wednesday, 5/3, is the test. You will report to Raider Arena Room 12. PLEASE eat a good breakfast, get plenty of sleep the night before, have writing utensils (pencil and pen), think clearly, take it seriously, remember your training, etc, etc, etc..

3. Thursday, 5/4, your to do list mentions teacher letters being due. Don't worry about those in advance. You will do them in class on Thursday.

4. I am taking personal days Thursday and Friday, May 4 and 5. You will have things to do in class on those days (Friday I am not sure if you will be here for all of class or not). On Thursday, your class will meet in the room beside Coach Renshaw's room.

5. We have one more work to read and we are only reading excerpts from it. It will be a nice way to round out the year, I think. I will give it to you this week and we will work with it the week of May 8.

6. Tuesday, May 9, is our AP Movie night at my house. I think we will meet for dinner around 7, then start the movie at 8. It's an hour and a half, so we should finish by 9:30, 9:45 or so. I will have dinner for you (probably hamburgers or hot dogs) if you all just want to bring drinks and chips and desserts.

7. Your final project is due on Friday, May 12. The full explanation of it is on the blog. It will serve as your final exam grade and so you need to DAZZLE me.

8. Your last journals are due Friday, May 12 as well. Thanks for a great year of getting to know you through these journals!

It's almost over, guys! It makes me sad to say that, but it's almost over.
