Just another day in the neighborhood

Well today in the world of sixth grade was the same as any other. The students are still working through the novel, The Man Who Was Poe. At this point in the novel there are so many clues and plenty of characters that they are starting to get confused. On the bright side their note taking skills have improved which helps when trying to explain all that is going on. It is a blessing to see how into the novel my students are getting. As the plot thickens the students get more and more drawn in to the novel. They are constantly making predictions and have almost turned it into a game of sorts. Coming back to a typical day has been great. I have been sick for a few days and not able to attend school. It was comforting to get back into the routine of a typical day and actually see how the kids were doing. Other than that, nothing real crazy going on.
