I am so lucky to have an amazing job at the best high school in the world with the most wonderful students (MOST of the time). Here I will share my musings, reflect on literature, and showcase cool assignments.
We were honored to have Sonja DuBois, Holocaust survivor, hidden child, spend the day with us on Thursday, April 3. Her story was compelling and moving and we so enjoyed getting to know her. She is pictured here with her husband, Ron.
Survivor of Sobibor
Pictured here are some of my students with Mr. Phillip Bialowitz, one of the ten living survivors of the Nazi extermination camp Sobibor. His son, Joe Bialowitz, is in the picture as well. It was an honor to hear Mr. Bialowitz speak.
We're back!!! Summer went by so quickly and it's so hard to believe that it's already August. However, like I told you in class, I can assure you that the next ten months will be the fastest of your life and before you know it, you will be walking across that stage on May 10. (Big smiles, all around!) This week is a short week, so we will just be mainly going over class procedures and plans. Next week, we will begin Unit 1, The Hero. I think you will enjoy it!
