Welcome!

The other night, after I finally sat down to relax after wrangling my six and three year olds through baths, books, bedtime, a notification popped up on my phone. A new blog post from my son Charlie's teacher.  I smiled, pulled up the link on my phone and was surprised to see a picture of my son sitting in the big teacher chair, grinning and reading a book to the class. He was reader of the day, and he hadn't even told me!!  He never tells me anything. 
"How was your day, Buddy?"  
"Fine."
"What was the best part?"
"Gym."
"Anything else?"
"Not really."

I bet some of you have Charlies of your own who never tell you anything.  And just because they're in high school doesn't mean you're not interested in what's going on in their classes.  

I'm going to try to do a better job of giving you a picture of what we're up to in AP English Language and ELA 10.  I'll post a blog entry each week and shoot you an email when it has been updated.  I'll let you know when big stuff is coming up, but I'll also try to share some of the fun things, too.  Let me know if you have specific concerns or questions you'd like me to address in blog posts, and I'll do my best to cover those as well. 

Hopefully, this will give us all another way to keep in contact about what your students are learning.
