BOOKS NEEDED FOR JANUARY 2011~

When you return from break, you will need one of the following books:

Periods 1 & 2:
After getting feedback from 1st period in class yesterday, I may reconsider doing Lincoln on Leadership. Check the poll to the right and vote :o) Let me know which you prefer, so I can make a more informed decision! Only vote once, please! Polls will close on Monday! Once we decide on the book, I will announce it and collect money from those of you who want me to purchase their copy ( the last day to do this will be Friday, 12/17).

Periods 3/4 & 5/6:

(The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey)


You will need them IN CLASS on 1/4!

Ooops! I did it again!

Yep, I messed up again; however, two themes emerge from this colossal faux pas. One, I am obviously working too hard...not getting enough sleep...having senior moments in my early 40s...or, simply, the blond dye has permeated through my hair follicles and scalp, straight to my helium-filled brain. (I use "brain" for lack of a better term. "Useless matter" would have been apropos, but that was just too harsh!) My guess is, it's probably lack of sleep (because I can always work harder...and there is no way that I will ever admit I am a senior, even when I am over 55...and I can't crack on blonds since the occasional "moment" is worth it. After all, we do have more fun!) Just check the time stamp on some of these posts, and you will understand what I mean by being over-tired.

OK, back to business! I did mention TWO themes emerged, right? Well, the other one is - WHY IN SAM HILL DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME THE WORDS FOR THE VOCAB 6 ONLINE REVIEW WERE WRONG????? What this tells me is you are either not using the flashcard activities I post or, worse, you are afraid to tell me I have made a mistake. I perish the thought! I do go out on a limb to make sure you have plenty of review before you are assessed. That takes time. Most teachers give you the list, a HW assignment, and that's it. You get it in four formats from me (words, HW, skits, and a review activity online or in class, or both). Is this a sign I am wasting my time? Or is this an indicator you fear me? Most would be pleased to be feared; however, I am not. I always want you to tell me when something isn't right. I may give you attitude, but in my quiet moments, I am VERY thankful for the lessons I learn from you all. Please, please, please tell me immediately when I have done something wrong...especially when it might affect you or our class. When it affects the whole class, text or call me, and let me know ASAP. If it's a mistake about a grade, email me or see me after class.

From this day forward, I promise to try and be a better me. After all, in being a better me, I can help you be a better you! And, believe me, that matters to me the MOST!

Here is the link for the vocab 6 words! CLICK HERE FOR REDEMPTION OF MY ERROR! Oh, and remember - "To err is human; to forgive is Divine." (If you don't know what that means, ask me in class.)

Good night :o)
MUCH LOVE!

PS. Don't you miss those days of Britney's "Hit Me, Baby" and "Oops, I Did It Again"????? Oh, man, I do!
