Ask Not...

Thank you for a beautiful day in class...I really do value and appreciate what we get to do here in Room 853.

For class on Wednesday, make sure you READ and ANNOTATE the JFK speech. (You can find it here.)  Show up like a "good student" would for class and be ready to think, discuss, share, talk, etc.

As for your brains, read your books, do a practice AP test, check out the test prep book from the library (or go buy one), troll the news, find something that will make you laugh (or cry), add stuff to your journal, work on prom dress notes, prep for SAS #1...the "work" is neverending especially for those of you who see through the veil of "This class is so easy...".

Much love and light,
Beltran 

P.S. - P is a nice letter...parliament starts with "P".  So does "president"...

  17. I liked this line from JFK's Inaugural Address, I think it speaks to us...
    "The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it--and the glow from that fire can truly light the world."
