Shakepeare

I am glad you all had plans for your spring break. Last week we had a very bad snowstorm and this week the weather is very warm. I think we went from Winter to summer and forgot spring. I added a picture of my house in the winter.

A little birdie told me you are interested in Shakepeare. I have found a great site for you to check out. http://www.folger.edu/template.cfm?cid=588 It is the Floger Shakepeare Library. This also has scripts http://www.folger.edu/template.cfm?cid=2142 Perhaps we can put on a play.

Tell me something you know about Shakepeare. Keep up the good comments.

I'm back - Thanks for the Comments

I liked all your comments. I was at a high school library, the one in the picture. It was a big library with computers in the middle and the books around the edges.

I taught 7th graders how to make a works cited for a research paper. I also made a video for a social studies class. I am glad to be back. Hope you all behave and keep up the good work.

What do you plan on doing when you don't have school next week?

Mrs. Laramie

Hi All,
