Discussion Topic for Extra Credit!

It's that time of year again. . . time for us to gather around the table with family (some of you probably still sit at the kid table, right?) and stuff ourselves with far too much food then watch football till we're senseless. . . only to get up when it's still dark to shop for those great deals on Black Friday (maybe I'm the only one who does that!).  So, before the madness begins, I want you to slow down and reflect:  think about why you are thankful right now in your life. . . what has God given you for which you should be thankful?  To receive extra credit, you must post a comment of at least 4 GOOD SENTENCES no later than NOVEMBER 18.  If you don't do it right, you will not be thankful for Mrs. Boyd because I will not give you credit for your post!  Ready, set, GO!

Lots of Reading!

Each class is either wrapping up a major piece of literature or beginning a new one.  DE Comp is about finished with Hamlet while DE lit is taking the Macbeth test this week.  Lit guys, don't forget you need to be reading Pride and Prejudice!  English III students are beginning The Scarlet Letter this week.  Remember, reading is crucial to your grade since I will check study guide questions and give you a reading quiz each time chapter assignments are due.  DON'T BE A SLACKER!

Good Luck to All this Week!

What a crazy week--again!  Good luck to our football team as they face CPA--again--in the first round of the state playoffs Friday night.  It's gonna be a cold night, so dress accordingly!  Also, good luck to our band as they compete in the state competition this weekend.  Go Cougars!
