Prélude, Suite No. 1 for Solo Cello by J.S. Bach, #songsofcomfort
When I looked around my classroom yesterday and there were students drawing, reading, writing, building presentations, & collaborating, I thought to myself, this is a good day.
I sit here at the end of the day full from the wonderful meal and family time I was given today. I am grateful for so much—family, friends, BHS family, students, and for the opportunities I have been given to be part of so many lives. Happy Thanksgiving! I am truly blessed.
One of my favorite statements by a student this week: This is hard. But...good. Now, I can see what I am going to write about in the end for the final essay.
@GaydosStacey@teacher2teacher @CharityDodd Look at song lyrics and how some artists take the ideas and twist, turn, or revamp the work. Dire Straits—“Romeo and Juliet” and Taylor Swift—“A Love Story.” It opens discussion about how time changes ideas & how some ideas are human struggles we always search to try and solve.
So incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication put in by my AP Literature and Composition students. You made my heart smile—hard work, perseverance, and community are keys to success. I am proud of ALL of you and the work you have done.
A day filled with excitement and celebration for what has been and what will be. Congratulations Sydney! We are all so proud of you and excited to see how you take on the world and do great things!
