It's baaaaacccckkkk! with some changes

I missed postings for the weeks of 9/10 and 9/17, so I’m already slipping behind on my beginning-of-the-year commitment to post every week. I apologize to those of you who have been checking this blog only to find nothing new. It’s been just a bit crazy with me the last couple of weeks, owing mostly to my role as Yearbook Advisor. I have a young and inexperienced staff this year, which means I’m having to take on the role of senior editor. But, I guess it keeps me humble; I’m going through what my student staff has gone through for years. (Shameless promotion: Speaking of yearbooks--you can order books online for a mere $75. The price goes up to $85 on January 1; unsold books will cost $90 after the books arrive in mid-May. I’ll post instructions separately on how to order.) Both Freshman CP and Junior CP English classes have been going well. As a matter-of-fact, I think September was one of the smoothest starts to a school year that I’ve had in a long time. I’m enjoying all the students a lot. They’re making class time enjoyable for me, and I hope that I’m keeping their classroom experience more-or-less positive. In the past, I’ve posted about both my classes--what they’ve been doing and what’s sheduled--in a single entry. Starting with this post, I’m going to begin writing separate reports for each class. I think it will make it easier for you to find the information that you’re interested in. But, as always, let me know if I can improve this blog in any way.
