Gold 3rd and 4th Block

Gracias amigos. The sub left a GLOWING review of you all which brightened my day and made me adore you even more--who thought I could, right? She said you were the best classes she has ever had to sit with and that if I ever need a sub to please call her again. I waited for the surprise to come...but then I realized it only reinforced what I already knew about each of mis estudiantes: best kids in the school; all 150ish of you. =)

Anticipate getting back to work on Friday. You will have a few minutes to get those videos to me. Then I will tell you how to write descriptions of your paintings--so you WILL need the rubric you were given Monday. While you write, I will conference with each of you. We will watch the video and grade it as we comment on what went right, what needs to work, and overall quality. You can then tell me if you want to show it in class, and we will start doing that as our bellringers next week. I will also get them and our pictures on the Iweb this weekend. 

I will be helping advise our wonderful group of Friends of Rachel this year, so I will start telling you all about it in the comings weeks. Our goal for the year will be to really help make the ENTIRE school a big family, just like it feels like in our class. I think everyone should be as happy as I am to be at LOHS and we are going to make it happen. Think about joining up in the next month when we begin the membership drive. You all are great examples of kind, hardworking, friendly, respectful, good people, and would be such an asset to the group. While you wait for the group to get rolling, I encourage all of you to start reaching out to people you may not know who need a friend. Saying good morning or asking how someone is can really make a positive difference in someone's life. Start helping clean up our cafeteria after lunch. If someone's sits alone at lunch, invite them to join you: who knows? They could be really really cool and you didn't even know it. If you and someone else are fighting, let it roll off your back. Instead of focusing on the bad, just move on and keep that chin up and be the better person. Let's see what can happen in just a few weeks and I bet you will like it. 

Missed you tons today! Nos vemos pronto--see you soon!
