1. Today is the FCAT Writes! during second period, and will result in an adjusted bell schedule. If you are a sophomore, consult me or the lists posted in the media center/guidance for your testing location. If you are a senior with late arrival, double-check with the main office for the starting time of third period, which will most likely be truncated due to the testing schedule. And if you are a senior: My room is off-limits. I am testing AND providing extended testing time to a small group of learners.
2. Tonight is AP night in the auditorium at 6 p.m., followed by a chance to meet the AP teachers and discuss next year's courses in the cafeteria. The cafeteria session should go from 7-8, so if you are interested in attending or sending a parental unit, let them know. If you are interested in helping out and "selling the AP class" for me or for another AP instructor, please show up around 7 at the cafeteria and prepare to be charming. Community service hours will be awarded.
Lessons for today:
Period One: Allaying of FCAT panic and furtherance of Othelloness.
Period Two: FCAT Writes!
Period Three: Short period; Shelley's "West Wind," or at least a hint of a breeze.
Period Four: Writing Center and ensuing chaos.
Periods Five-Seven: Windiness and falling on the thorns of life, Shelleystyle. And there will be much rejoicing.
