finally…
We’re reading a book that I picked out– the student in class are, that is. First time in five years that I proposed a new book to buy and read. If you’re curious, it’s Three Cups of Tea (Young Readers Edition). Every seventh grader in our school will read it, most of them starting tomorrow. I’m pretty stoked about this. It’s a true and amazing story about one man who really is changing the world.
Also tomorrow morning, we have a staff meeting at 7:45 a.m. to find out what changes the district has in plan after the board meeting last night. If our building is affected at all, it will likely be to add 6th grade (we’re currently a 7/8 middle school). That would definitely change a lot, if it came to pass.
Happy Friday everyone!

I am trying to work out what age group Grade 7/8 is…13/14?
That book is on my list of books to read … maybe when I’m on bedrest. ;o)
I’ve not heard of that book. Wonder if our agency has it in their school… I’ll have to see if I can find it. Our school here has been running a 6-8 middle school for a long while now. And a 3-5 “intermediate” school… which is a fancy way of saying we don’t have enough room in the elementary school for all the elementary school students, so they shall now occupy the old high school building and be called intermediate school, for the record. (After building a new high school about 15-16 yrs ago & a new middle school about… 5 yrs ago… they’re not in the mood for building any more schools, I guess.)
It’s Friday. That’s good, yes?
Looks like an interesting book. People of late have been giving me zombie books for some reason–haha–
