A passing thought.....

"Every art, and every science reduced to a teachable form, and in like manner every action and moral choice, aims, it is thought, at some good: for which reason a common and by no means a bad description of the Chief Good is, "that which all things aim at." -
                                                                                Aristotle (Ethics)

How Could I

How could I not remember....?

It was not like I had lost my keys
locked them in the car,
forgotten to turn off the lights
or even feed the dog.

Did I forget bread at the store?
Did I forget to say "I love you"?
Did I forget it was your birthday?

No, I did none of those things

How could I forget....
it was you who broke my heart?

In awe

I just found this to be awsome...This was great.....feel free to share

Resources Galore

I found this site looking for SAT resources and came across many items that I thought I would share with the rest of you.  It was free for me to join and if you have any trouble finding the resources feel free to come and ask.  It has videos and templates, many blank organizers and covers all subjects.  Let me know what you think!!

The Heart of a Child

Do not let me out grow my heart,
allowed by my cynical mind.

Swallowed whole by the world at large,
dreams a saviors soul,

Twilight gleams and glory fades
in the shadow of the night

Do not let my light go out
let me stay and fight

For dreams are all we carry
and we sleep to find them there

do not take my child's heart
and leave me with despair.

First Week of Classes

My what a great set of students we have this year.  Everyone seems ready for the new year and a great learning experience.  I am very excited to have this great group of seniors and our new 9th graders.  I am also happy to see all the returning students from 9th grade last year that make up our 10th grade academy.  This year is gonna ROCK!!!!

Freedom Week

I am so excited about Freedom Week here at SASIC!!!  The Declaration of Independence, The Gettysburg's Address and MLK's "I have a dream" speech will be the main focus in English classes.  all of these changed our nation in one way or another.  To be able to share the history of these powerful and poetic pieces with the students makes me proud to be an English teacher.
