The First Few Weeks by Kamryn Foster

For the past two weeks, we have been working on our Summer Reading Expository Essays. They are comparing and contrasting two of the required books that we read on either theme, characterization, topics, or anything that comes to mind! Many people in this class are very talented writers, so I am excited to hear about their writing accomplishments through this assignment! The way our classroom runs that gives us enough time to get the work we need done, is Mrs. Kopp’s new “Flex Schedule”. She gives us information on Monday and Tuesday, and by her tips and advice, we set the table for achieving greatness on Wednesday and Thursday! To cool off and relax, we read our independent reading books on Friday to ease the stress of school away. Personally, I love this new perspective of teaching, for it gives the students more responsibility in getting assignments done. I have enjoyed this class, the way it’s managed, and my peers so far, and I am so excited to see where the year takes us!
