Just a little happy note...
I required my ninth graders to get a copy of To Kill a Mockingbird and my seniors to get a copy of And Then There Were None by the end of this six weeks so that we could read it later. I tried very hard to talk up both books in hopes of getting them interested. Today, I asked all my classes how many of them had already gotten their copy, and several of them had. In one class, a girl said, "I've already started reading mine," and at least four others started chiming in with, "me too!"s. They even had a short little discussion about the first few chapters. It was so encouraging! Of course, I have a few scrooge's who put in their two cents, but it was nice to hear some of them being excited about reading. GOOD DAY!
