Happy Halloween

Shout out to the cutest costumes I have seen in a long while...the ramen alone...At any rate, I hope you have a safe and happy evening.  My littles don't check this blog so I will have candy for the taking tomorrow as the "switch witch" will be visiting our house this evening to replace the tootsie rolls with tantalizing toys.

As a gentle and loving reminder, just because we don't have grades per say doesn't mean you aren't being assessed as a student so quizzes like the one today, the TED Talk Chart, prom dress notes, reading, etc. - they all MATTER.  Perhaps not on a numerical scale yet but some of you are training quite nicely for the "race" that is next semester and some of you are just dressed in workout clothes and headed for coffee.

Decide who you want to be and go be it.

A few deadlines to keep in mind:  Outliers  needs to be read in its entirety by MONDAY, DECEMBER 5th.  (I just went on Thrift Books and bought some copies for cheap so you can too.)  And your CREATE SOMETHING 1.0 is due FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9th.

 Tomorrow is our TED Talk and the next 3 weeks are all about our favorite things...

Love and light,
Beltran

Daily Journal #43:  Traditions are often a part of the holiday season and it seems we each have "normal" things our families do to celebrate.  Describe one of your family's holiday traditions.  (Keeping in mind, of course, that there is no "normal" and the definition of family is fluid.)
