Another Boyd Birthday!

You all have to excuse my English teacher mode for a minute and let me be a mommy.  I am so excited that my Reece has a birthday this weekend!  He will turn 7 on Saturday and can hardly wait for his party (that I have to finish planning).  As my children get older, I am even more aware of the truth to the old saying about time flies.  I cannot believe my children are growing up so quickly.  I wish there were some way I could push a pause button to freeze time for a while!  I know you students are probably rolling your eyes, but you might understand that one of these days!  

So, in honor of Reece, here is another extra credit opportunity!  Post a well-written comment describing the best birthday party you had as a child.  Tell me about the party--who was there, what you did--what made it so memorable.  To receive credit, you MUST post your thoughtful comment of 5 or so sentences no later than Tuesday, Sept. 6, at 6:00 pm.  Anything added after that time will be enjoyed but not awarded extra credit :)

Don't Forget!

Please be aware each class has a separate tab above to click on for specific assignments and announcements.  Don't forget to check that when you log in to this page :)

Ready...Set...Go!

I can hardly believe we are already back into the swing of things with a new school year!  My family and I had a fun-filled summer (as I hope all of you did) with little excursions here and there--including one to Kings Island where Mallory proved to be the dare-devil of the family.  I am very excited to be starting my second year at Goodpasture, a place my children and I truly love.  As we develop routines this year, I hope that all of my students and parents will utilize this blog to see what is going on in my English classes.  Bookmark it and check it each week.  You never know what you're going to find...

EXTRA CREDIT:  Tell me about your summer!  Type a 4-6 sentence response describing something fun or memorable you did this summer.  To receive extra credit, you must post your response no later than Friday, August 19, at 11:00 p.m.
