My 8th grade students did well!

8th grade reading 88% passing and 44% commended

 8th grade math 81% passing and 19% commended

Way to go 8th graders!  Unfortunately TEA Texas Education Agency took away the Texas Projected Measure so won't be exemplary.

I am just glad my kids did well!

We're in TAKS Mode - 20 day!

So far it has been a good year with no major issues!  I just want all of my students to pass the TAKS Reading test, especially my 8th grade students!

I have a Dell GX620 and I am hoping to use as my infocus computer.  I need to see if it works first.

Found a 2 prong cord

Found a good two prong cord for an Elmo. Apparently several of them went on strike during the summer!

Busy Summer

It has been a very busy summer.  I feel good today.  I have not felt good for a long time, but today I feel good.

Star Trek: Vanguard Precipice by David Mack

Great book!  Original Series Star Trek universe without the main characters.

Here are some of the best lines.

bottom of page 316 - " So be it.  Bidding a slient farewell to her muse, T'Prynn turned her back on the piano.  Then she stepped off the stage and back into the shadows, where she belonged."

page 283 - " Did you steal it? No, I borrowed it.  So whose shuttle is this?  It's not a shuttle.  It's a starship."

page 37  - "The impression one gets of your society from the outside is that it doesn't much care for iconoclasts.  True.  Nevertheless, we exist."
