Thursday on My Mind


I will be leaving Friday morning for Washington DC for the inauguration. Mr. David Lumsden will be our guest teacher Friday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I will return on Thursday. I will be keeping an inauguration blog at mrjoeindc.blogspot.com.
I will be offering bonus points to any student who posts comments to my inauguration blog between today and Wednesday night. I will also be checking email on my trip.

What we did in class today:

We read and wrote about portions of the short story The Marble Champ by Gary Soto.
