We had a really nice time at the first of many Friday morning Coffee Club meetups in my room. We enjoyed coffee, donuts and conversation.
We plan to meet Friday mornings before school (around 8:15). All students in 9th-12th grades are welcome. No tech, drama, or negativity allowed! The idea is for the students to socialize and get to know each other a little better without being distracted by cell phones, social media, YouTube, etc.
We can’t wait to do this again! To my students – thanks for making me smile and laugh today. 😊
COOKIE GROUP: We have a fun project on the calendar….it will get messy, we will have fun, and the kids will get a grasp on writing a two column proof!! Check your child’s due date!
Presentation days:
November 12: Lily, Eamon, and Wyatt
November 13: Greer, Abbie, Jordan
November 14: Jack, Spencer, Ben
November 15: Camden, Anthony, Maggie

Students start each class with a short writing assignment. Today’s prompt:
What is one lesson you learned so far from the book and how can you apply it to your life?
After the students completed the assignment, finished watching the movie. We also read several chapters of the book.
We had a class discussion about the negative effects of technology on socializing. Students are to “people watch” over the weekend and report back with five ways that technology has interrupted or gotten in the way of face-to-face interaction.
Continuing our study of the works of Edgar Allen Poe, we watched part a biographical documentary called Buried Alive today. It’s about the life and works of Edgar Allen Poe. https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B07B4MKKM8
