Week of October 26

HOW fast in October flying by???  Love it.  This week we are going to frantically start and finish the essay unit (except, of course, for all that work you will be doing at home on this unit!), then get to one of my own educational passions, Holocaust education.  Our unit will begin next Friday.  I am anxious.  And eager.  I am always nervous about your reactions, nervous that I will fail to do a unit this important justice.  And I am always eager to take part in discussions with you, to hear your response to Night, to hopefully do my part in making you a more thoughtful member of our society.  So that's me for those three weeks-- nervous and eager.  That sums it up!
