Hello, Roadrunners.

This past week we kept busy reading Macbeth. I think the students are surprised at how much they are enjoying the play, even with the complex language! We are about half way through the play  plan on completing it by February 3rd. Since this is a play, we are reading this in class, but students are asked to review what we have read each night. Ideally, each student should be reading for 30 minutes a night! We are tackling deep thinking questions about the play and the motives behind certain character’s actions. Shortly after that we will be watching the made for tv version of Gulliver’s Travels. I will be sending more info out on that as we get closer, but I wanted everyone to have a heads up so you could look into what it is about. There will be an option to opt out as well. Again…more info to come soon.

Office Hours/Extra Help

I am in my classroom most mornings around 7:30 am and stay after until at least 4:15. If your student needs help, please send them my way.

Nut Policy

As a friendly reminder, San Tan is a Nut Free Campus. We have quite a few students on campus that are severely allergic to nuts. Please check your students bags/lunch boxes prior to dropping them off, or sending them on their way. Thank you for keeping everyone on our campus safe!

Please let me know if you need anything else from me or have any questions.

Have a great weekend.
