 Happy Friday! We are continuing our benchmark for earlier in the week. I hope I did well, but It feels like I never do good on illuminate assignments no matter how hard I try. There's a football game today, but i'm not going because it is 1.5 hours away. Hopefully next year most of the games will be home. I am so exhausted form this week and ready for the weekend. 

 Happy Thursday! Today Mr. Rease is not here. We have a sub! We are working on vocabulary words today. Im so excited for the weekend. Only one more day until Friday!

 Happy Tuesday! Yesterday we started out bench mark. Today we are continuing it. We began class with the structure of body paragraphs. Once were were done with that we started working. Can'r wait for Friday!

 Happy Monday! Today we are taking a benchmark. I am kind of sleepy today, since I had an eventful weekend. Homecoming was on Saturday. I spent my Sunday resting and doing homework. Here's to another good week!

 Happy Friday! Today we’re on a modified bell schedule, so class is only 30 minutes long. We worked on claims today. We went over the importance of supporting your evidence. Today is going to be a good day! Homecoming is tomorrow! 

 Happy Thursday! Today we did another assignment on illuminate.  We were trying to identify the rhetorical analysis. We watch videos and looked at ads and different visuals. I enjoy watching video because they add another aspect to learning. Tomorrow is Friday and the last day of Homecoming spirit week!

 Happy Tuesday! Today we did notes in class. I thought some of the things said in class were very contradicting and easy to debate. Class was easy today because we only did notes. Happ Homecoming week!

 Happy Monday! Today we have a sub. We began class by the sub, Ms. Williams, giving us directions for our assignment. The assignment has to do with vocabulary. I haven't seen most of these vocab words, but I guess that's good because I get to learn something new! Happy Homecoming spirit week!

 Today we began class by taking a test. Some of the questions on the test were kind of random and tricky. I think I did well. I'm so glad it's Friday. Have a nice weekend!

 Today we began class by continuing the assignment from Tuesday. The assignment was about analyzing Emily Dickinson's quotes. I enjoyed this assignment because it was an opportunity to really read into the deeper meaning. Happy Thursday! So ready for Friday! 

 Today we began class with certain s rude te taking a retake test. Luckily I got a 100% of the first try so I didn’t have to retake anything. Once students were done with that we began a quote analysis assignment. The assignment is to help us understand the meaning behind quotes. Happy Tuesday!

 Today we began class by presenting our one-pagers. I thought it was cool to see everyone’s different understandings of the different poems. Today is 9/11 so there’s kind of a dark mood. Happy Monday! Here’s to a good week.

 

Today in class we worked on our one pager. I came to school late yesterday so didn't have much time to work on it yesterday. Today I got a majority of it done! I'm very excited for the weekend. I need a break!  Happy Friday! 

 Today I came in late, because I had a doctor appointment. When I got to class students were already working. We were starting a new assignment, an Emily Dickinson poetry One pager. Shortly after I arrived an announcement was made that a memorial/ceremony was being held out on the football field. Today was fun, excited for Friday!

  Today we read and analyzed Emily Dickinson’s poem Success is counted in sweetest. Today I learned about how to measure success and the importance of self actualization. Your personal definition of success is what really matters. This lesson taught me to look into poems deeply. Understanding the deeper meaning of poems can be very impactful.

Today we read another one of Emily Dickinson’s poem.
