Hi students – As I mentioned in class last week, I’ve been having some surprise medical issues, and I’ll be out again tomorrow (Tuesday) trying to get better. I want to be able to rejoin you as soon as possible! In the meantime, I want to thank you for your patience and your hard work – all of your substitutes have left me glowing notes. I think I owe you some homemade cookies (I’ll wait until the infection clears to bake them).

Tomorrow (Tuesday), please turn your recipe project in to the substitute. Your homework due on Wednesday is the first Glass Castle reading guide. Tomorrow during class, you will write an expository essay in the STAAR style. Please do your very best work on this! It may count for a major grade.
