Is it Summer yet?

I am so ready for the end of the year. It's not even funny. I am aching to be free of my first year! My kids are tired of being here, and frankly, I'm tired of having them here. Love 'em, sure. But they need to be Sophomores already! I want to start fresh with my new Freshmen! I'll be teaching English I-Pre AP and English I- Childress next year, which I am obviously excited about. 

Things to think about for next year: 

• Implementation of my Shutterfly class website: is it fair to expect my kids to check the website weekly? Even with limited access to computers at home?
• Facebook group for Ms. Hunt's classes: is this a dumb idea? Will I actually use this, or should I focus on my class website instead? Do they basically fulfill the same standards and serve the same purpose? Which would be better for my kids?
• Better use of their Writing Portfolios! (more frequent use)
• GRAMMAR GRAMMAR GRAMMAR (How to? Image Grammar, Harry Noden-read up this summer!)
• Revisit The Odyssey- yikes. This was a train wreck. Need to get them into the computer lab for research. The "Stations" activity I did with them was not too effective for Mythology background information.
