Tuesday, April 25

6:11 a.m. - Yesterday....school day went fine...a little quiet since most of the senior class and many other students attended the funeral of Daniel Tayler.  I've started scoring the training project presentations, and I hope to get that done this week.  Mrs. Kline helped me with some copying to get more prepared for the next unit of instruction - transcendentalism in American literature.  Last night's game turned into a home run fest, but I had fun because I don't work with Steve Vandervinne very often.  I picked up some batteries at WalMart, so I can complete all the battery replacements of our fifteen million smoke alarms.

Today should be another day like yesterday...school...softball...return home.  The weather for this weekend does not appear to be cooperative for camping.  I'm just not a big fan of cold, breezy, rainy conditions....if I'm going to be indoors most of the time over a weekend, I might as well be home.

Things to do for school

• enter scores for reading transcendentalism background info
• score and enter training path project grades
• check into costs of Fahrenheit 451 graphic novels
• work on research paper prompt
• Write an argument in which you select an historical figure you have encountered so far in English III or U.S. History that would prove to be an effective leader for the United States in 2023. In your argument include research of relevant background information of your selected individual, as well as her/his effective leadership traits (and if you believe those traits would translate to today's modern challenges).
