RULES OF COMMENTING:
- when answering the question do not repeat someone else's information.

- only comment if you can provide new or different information.

- if you are adding to someone else's comment, make sure you refer to what they have said or something that they have said.

- you can read other information in order to create your post (and I apreciate those of you who cited their sources), but try to ONLY comment when you know the answer - if you don't know the answer, check the comments to see if someone else does

Student Focus

Every Friday, starting with next Friday, I will post an interview I had with a student from either 9G or 9H (the two 9th grade classes that will be reading this blog). There are plenty of weeks for all of you to be interviewed, so don't feel bad if I don't get to interview you until the end of the year.

I just wanted to warn everyone ahead of time that I will be pulling aside a student here and there during lunch to interview them for the blog. I can't wait to learn more about you and to let you guys learn more about each other!

Idiom

What does it mean to "drink our health"?

What's Up Wednesday

What do you do after you eat dinner on a regular day?

Reminder: bring ideas in your head to class for letter writing...what can you write to an American student about? What would you want a letter to you to say? What questions would you want someone to ask you?

Welcome to School!

Does this seem welcoming? I know you are all ready for the school year and so excited that the summer is over. I am hoping you have all the books you need and get together the proper notebooks and pens and pencils. We have at least 179 more days of school after the first day!! It will be great!

- bring Masterclass (Unit 5) and An Inspector Calls to EVERY class!
- bring a notebook (something to write on) and a pen/pencil (something to write with) to every class and BE ORGANIZED

How do you feel after the first day? I feel excited and tired at the same time.
