Hi Friends! Welcome back! I hope everyone has had an enjoyable and restful holiday! It seems that 2019 so far has brought about a wee bit of sickness my way...so I apologize for being all sneezy and absent the last couple days...

Hi Friends!

To say the last couple weeks have been busy, would be a massive understatement! You guys had tons of stuff going on -- due dates almost every couple days -- but you worked very hard and pulled it all off! I am extremely proud of the initiative and focus every one of you displayed!

Room 102 finished off 2018 by performing their Shadow Theatre (see below for a few pics!) to multiple audiences, and Room 108 delved into the wonderful world of essay writing!!

​Please rest up and enjoy this well deserved break! Best wishes to you all.

See you in 2019!

-Mrs. L

This week we were able to wrap up most of our book talks -- great job! The handful of you who still need to present will do so on Monday/Tuesday of next week.

Room 102 -- you are currently putting together your Shadow Theatre performances. Directors & Playwrights, please make sure that you've got everything you need for Monday's work period.

Room 108 -- you are going through the methods of constructing a strong thesis statement. Please do not forget that your practice statements are due THIS Monday (December 10th) at 12:45pm. 

Have a great long weekend!

Hey Folks, 

Well, last week flew by without any updates -- apologies. I suppose we did have a shorter week with the P/T Conferences and such... and then you spent a lot of time working on your exhibits.

This week, BOTH classes will have 3 work periods to get their Japan exhibits completed. Please use your time wisely and consider, if you need, taking work home so that you don't feel rushed.

On Friday, our plan is to have a viewing of Netflix's Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat.  In the episode, you will learn a little bit more about Japanese culture and its unique cuisine.
