​My Expectations

​I don't expect perfection ... from myself or from you.

I want you to pass.... which means doing some work.
I expect you to listen to me....... I will listen to you.
I want you to tell me when you're lost.... don't just sit there or hide.
Cameras? If it's up to me, I want them on. Your principal told me
how to handle this.
I am asking you to be patient with me if something glitches.
I'm all about respect. Please respect each other, me and yourself!
I read your school's plagiarism/cheating policy! I agree!!!
RE-do's on written work are a part of English class .. IMHO
except bellringers/ warm up activities

​Why do we study English?

​I'll tell you, but I want to hear what you have to say about it first.

​Maryland-- 7th state to join the union--- 876 plus or minus miles between us

​Maryland currently!

​Kind of cold .... Lots of snow in December.
My grandkids enjoyed a full fledged snow day.
This happened about a week before Christmas.
Our 19 month old husky, Izzy is
enjoying the snow weather.
Molly the 12 year old chihuahua,
not so much. She's a Granny
Grumpy Bones and she doesn't
enjoy Izzy either.
