I can't believe we're already halfway done with this school year! Seems like it has been flying by. We wrapped up the semester with a few short stories leading into our next unit, The House on Mango Street. We had some great discussions about growing up and how it means different things for different people, and how it can also come at different times depending on external factors outside our own control. The students had so many insightful comments about the short stories, I can't wait to hear what they have to say about our next novel. Plus, with this next unit, we'll be doing more creative and narrative writing, and I'm looking forward to learning more about everyone :) I've also missed quite a few caption contest posts, so here they are from the last...five weeks.
