Well, today was a very bad Titan first for me. I came to school this morning to find my classroom broken into. Someone had gone all through my drawers in my desk, leaving them open. At first I noticed the LCD projector was missing off of my cart, then I noticed the desk second. I had a gut instinct of alarm when I saw the LCD projector missing, but then I figured another English teacher probably borrowed it. Then, I saw my desk drawers and immediately went to the front door (because I had come in the back) and low and behold, some thug had forced the door open and broke in. LCD projectors run about $700. They got mine, Ms. Repass’, Mr. Hedden’s, and Mr. Rawlin’s. In addition, they took Ms. Repass’ laptop and ipod that was LOCKED in her desk, Mr. Rawlin’s ipod,  and Mr. Hedden’s expensive sunglasses. Incredible. These thugs are professional criminals. That phrase seems like an oxymoron — PROFESSIONAL CRIMINALS.  Anyhow, then I get a message from the front office from Mr. Breaux who had stopped at the dumpster to drop off trash and locked his keys in his SUV. Can we say chaotic?  At least the day settled down somewhat.  I’ve been very tired today which is odd since I got enough sleep — I think it’s just the events of the day.

So here’s what we did:

JUNIORS: Today, I collected your index cards for GG Assessment #1 and then we took notes from pages 10-14. HW: Finish reading the GG Ch. 1 Quiz tomorrow. Also, after a bunch of looking and emails, I was able to procure enough GGs for everyone to have one. So, I made a reading schedule after school today. Here it is: the-great-gatsby-reading-schedule-2008

SOPHOMORES:  Today you rehearsed all day. It looks like it’s coming along great! Good work!

HW: Study for your Hamlet vocabulary Test.

Ciao!
