It is very difficult to believe that the first marking period is already over. Grades and comments are being distributed, the football team is away for their final game of the season and all the other fall sports have already finished. We had a few nice activities outside of classes and sports and I am sharing those with a new photo album on the side.
About the courses: I have gotten to know all of my students very well and everyone is making my work very enjoyable. We have established a solid academic relationship and are working on improving in all areas of language studies. I have come to like our new classroom management system "Moodle" and I have to say I am impressed with the tools and possibilities it offers.
A few more words about the pictures: The first few are from the club fair, where clubs presented themselves and invited students to sign-up. Interest was high in the French club, particularly in the chocolate fondue. The next few images are from the Harvest festivity at Barlow Farms. My children love this event and this year there was a group of WRA students who volunteered and did everything from setting up to directing traffic, face painting, crafts and cleaning up. A great way for the students to get involved in the community. Finally, our family hosted the 14th annual advisee-pumpkin-carving-extravaganza. We invite our advisees to carve pumpkins, eat pizzas and candy and just hang out at our house. This year we were also saying goodbye to five senior advisees who have participated anywhere from one to four years. Thank you, we had a wonderful time with you! Overall, we carved 22 pumpkins, which were used on Halloween Night to decorate our lawn for trick-or-treaters.
As we approach the holidays there will be more activities and news, so come back in about two weeks to get some updates.
