Week of October 30-November 3

 "Moo-ove over, here comes November."  I took this picture last week while out Jeeping with the husband.  We love it here!

This week in English 7, our teachers will experience the great "sugar rush" the day after Halloween.  I generally make that a "bring what you want to read" day. They can curl up on the floor, as long as they are reading and can munch on their candy.  It is generally a way for them to "settle" after a rather long night. Have a beautiful week!

I am collecting "goods" for our troops who are serving in Israel and Ukraine. We will be writing to them on November 10th, however, they are in need of supplies. Please find them here on my Amazon wish list. Please donate if you can.

English 7-Week of October 9-11

Looking forward to a short week and a nice fall break with my family! Wishing all of you a safe and blessed break.

I am still in need of The Doughnut Fix for my English 7 Standard classes.  I am also in need of poster board as well for our Book Report projects (due November 8th). Thank you so much for all you do!

Last Saturday I was in my first art show at the Mesquite Art Gallery. I thought I'd share a picture since I try to share everything with your children as well. The photo was taken in Richmond, Virginia where I was literally laying down on the track to get the "right shot."

Please be aware I am closing my grades on Monday!
