After the long weekend, I am feeling refreshed and ready to take on the new six weeks! The students are turning in their poetry projects this week and honestly, I'm glad we're done with poems. I'm excited to see their work and looking forward to starting our unit on To Kill a Mockingbird!
In other news, I read all of Shadow of the Wind, the book my student gave me as homework. It was beautiful and enchanting, honoring the art of story telling. I am happy to be able to share in the love of a good book, and one of my student's favorites. I think I'll bring him 100 Years of Solitude, which he is sure to enjoy.
Another update about my UNM friend who had the trouble with her students videotaping her: the students were suspended for a week, and the school officer (a woman) volunteered to come and talk to the class about sexual harrassment and appropriate behavior. It has been a learning experience for us all.
