So….Poe.

These few days around All Hallow’s Eve are some of my favorites of the year!  POE IS MY HOMEBOY! 
I hope that you guys enjoy listening to “The Tell-Tale Heart” tomorrow! (Tuesday)  It’s read by a fella named Iggy Pop – I don’t expect you to have ever heard of him, but your parents [...]

Never a dull moment around here…

I don’t know about you guys, but my head is spinning from how quickly everything’s happening!  I am really, really sorry that I had to bail out on you all yesterday, but my son is sick with pneumonia!  (Kinda scary since he’s got asthma!)  He got super-sick super-fast, and I had to scramble to throw everything [...]

Happy Monday, Pre-APeeps!

Could the weather outside be ANY more awesome?   It puts me in a perfect Halloween-y mood!    Ever heard the saying “Be careful what you wish for…”?  Keep that in mind tomorrow when you read “The Monkey’s Paw”!
Special note to my Target-going friend…(you know who you are!)   
The files we talked about are in the blue [...]

I’m back in the saddle again…(that would be FIGURATIVELY, guys!)

This week is flying by!  My regular classes (thankfully) are turning their final projects in TODAY (Wednesday) – Can I get a WOOT WOOT?    Please refer to your Research Packet to get specifics on [...]

Ahhh! Gotta love those three-day weekends!

 
Ok so I didn’t actually GET a three-day weekend…I spent Monday in a Pre-AP training in which I devised fantastic literary torture for ALL of you (not just my Pre-APeeps)!   However, I hope that you all got some well-deserved rest! 
We start a brand-new six weeks on Tuesday, and with that comes a brand new vocabulary list!  Woo [...]
