International Festival 2024
At Work
These three kids are among my best workers. Z, the boy in the middle, wasn't the best worker last year.
This year, he is. When I told the seventh-grade administrator about the change, she threw her arms up and proclaimed, "Hallelujah!"
Old Friends, Old Teammates
They've known each other for years. They've played together on at least three different teams. During high school season, they've played against each other for four years.
Two years ago, when he Mauldin girls took state, L's team beat S's and E's team in straight sets.
Tonight, the roles were reversed. Woodmont is a regional powerhouse this year just like Mauldin was two years ago.
But no matter who wins, the after-game picture is always the same.
Weezer
First (and maybe only) full family concert.
Krakow, Early Morning
From School
English I students continued with their parts of speech review, getting out of the traditional order and skipping from adjective to prepositions in order to help students identify prepositional phrases. This will help them with all the other parts of speech, especially since we're going to be covering active/passive when we get to verbs later this week.
English 8 students continued with the district-designed unit on argument based on the newly adopted textbook looking at argumentative writing. We're looking at a second article dealing with automation and employment: this article makes the opposite claim as last week's article "The Automation Paradox."
Team Member of the Quarter
This is from some time ago, but we are still all proud of our K.
Game Day
Name-Calling GOP
I was looking through old posts in the "random post" widget the other evening before heading to bed, and I saw this from 2008.
Sixteen years later, and nothing has changed.
Maybe immaturity is just a GOP thing?
