Hey everyone!
I don't know about you but I had a blast this week. We really took our books to the next level, sharing our thoughts and opinions, analyzing themes and central ideas, and sharing our books with the class in some extremely creative and entertaining ways. I wish every week could be so action packed and run so smoothly as this one did. We pulled it off, and now onward to our newest adventure. I know a lot can be going on over the next two weeks. For some this time can be a chance to relax, to visit family and friends, but for some it can also be a real trying and difficult time. I hope that those of you who are lucky enough to enjoy this time off, keep those of us who might find the time away difficult in your thoughts. We are all in this together in this beautiful ball of land and sea; that's not always easy to realize, yet it is even harder to ignore once we do. So, as we move forward into this new year and make promises of of the promises we promise to keep, all I ask of you is keep on thinking. Think critically of the world around you, question things, imagine the world from a new perspective, from another's point of view. Don't be afraid to look beyond what is actually being said and just soak it all in; let your mind wonder. Keep up the good work, and I can't wait to see you all next year! Mr. Ruth p.s. I will update the weekly schedule sometime over the break, so you know what to expect when we get back.

Weekly HappeningsThis is where you can check and see a brief overview of what we have done as a class each week. My intention is to keep this up to date with happenings, assignments, trends, previews of the following week, and anything else that needs to be shared with my students and their families. I may not always get something written each week, but I will do my best to be disciplined in keeping you informed. Archives
