And a thought...

Pictures from Speech class...




I am finishing up a great conference with an amazing lesson I can't wait to share with you in the fall. I just realized I failed to leave you with a thought for the summer, so to tide you over...



Bill Cosby - "The past is a ghost, the future a dream, and all we ever have is now."

Enjoy the now...

Mrs. Tyler

PS - Don't forget to email me with any questions regarding summer reading, or letting me know your thoughts to date. I'm always up for a book discussion...

SUMMER VACATION BEGINS!

Hi, all,

The 2007-2008 school year is over and now we are on summer break. I am already thinking about all the fun books and activities we will complete during 2008-2009. If you haven't picked up your CP or Honors Summer Reading assignment, please stop by the school.

If you have questions, email me.

Happy reading and enjoy the sunshine.
