Fall is here! Sort of....

Well, at least, a NC kind of fall is here.

My 7th graders are learning a beautiful poem by Robert Frost, "Nothing Gold Can Stay". We wrote our own fall poems, and are illustrating them for display on our class bulletin board.

Thank you to everyone who has donated items for our Fall Festival basket! Here's the current situation:

 We still need a basket to hold it all, a crafty person to arrange it, and anything else you'd like to bring in. Local coffee shop gift cards are a good idea, but so is anything else in the coffee vein. I am so excited about this basket! Now, to keep myself from bidding on it....

Make plans to come to our fabulous Fall Festival! It's November 2, from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. Eighth grade parents, please sign up here to help with our Fall Festival game!

Have a wonderful weekend! Here's a weird word for your weekend. It'a a noun, with French and Greek origins:

phantasmagoria:A dreamlike state in which images, both real or imagined, blur together; a constantly changing series of scenes or events that shift in color and intensity May God bless you! I so enjoy being part of your child's middle school years. I pray for my students every day. KD
