Dear 16 year-old me...

BREAK

Hey everyone. Though I doubt anybody will read this, I wanted to wish everyone a very happy break. Also, I just wanted to add that all of you have made my second year of teaching lightyears better than my first. Thank you for your attentiveness and willingness to learn from a weirdo like me.

See you in 2012!

EDIT: 12/23
If you're working on extra credit over break, consider this:

Watch the free netflix movie entitled Waiting for "Superman". Write a one page response/reflection. This will count as ONE out of the FIVE extra credit assignments.

To all periods:

Considering we've been so out of the loop this week, I figured I'd post an update.

I have already received some extra credit packages via e-mail from some of you. Thanks for this! I will be accepting extra credit "What's New" assignments on the day we get back, and, depending on what Westford Public Schools determines concerning the end of first quarter, maybe the day after.

I sincerely hope that none of your families suffered any financial losses during such an odd-timed storm. There is a lot of science to be said about the storm. Needless to say, I think there's some time that will be taken for stories.

See you soon
