Week One Summary

I still have a few kids names on my roster who aren't in class. It's quite a chore to track down all of the students who have moved away and who are just missing. But schedule changes ended today, so next week's rosters should be up to date.

After some miscellaneous introductory stuff, we moved into our short story unit beginning with short story terms and "The Sniper."

This year's batch of kids really seem pretty swell, and the other teachers I've talked to have said the same thing. We've all been fairly impressed with this first week.

Now it's time to enjoy the weekend and do some planning for next week.
