AC/DC, Iron Man 2
This started a summer of AC/DC, a band I had not spent much time with for a few years. We bought this soundtrack because the kids liked the cover & it came with a ticket to the movie.
Film OK, album excellent.
[Includes "Shoot to Thrill," "Thunderstruck," "If You Want Blood," & the greatest of their great songs, "Let There Be Rock."]
As for the day's title . . . bad news: according to the doctor's reading of his chest x-ray, Cedric officially has pneumonia.
The good news: Finbar is 7, & he is quite excited to "be" a new number.
As for Aodhan, he's running for the office of "historian" in the Student Senate at Carnelian.
[& it's Kirk Herbstreit's birthday, too!!]
So, big day all around.
Juniors got the Socratic seminar prep sheet: remember that you will answer your choice of SEVEN questions for TUESDAY. Also, you finished up "Reading Pretty Closely," and many of you volunteered to present your "other" books Monday.
Sophomores got 3 books from the library, 2 of which stay home for now. The Literature and Language Arts textbook, in fact, comes back with you to school the last week before finals to be returned to the library. You'll need the Vocabulary Workshop books in 2 weeks.
For tomorrow, make sure you bring pages 3-24 from the Holt Interactive Reader--these are the pages of "Contents of the Dead Man's Pocket." Also, hold onto the "Reading Literature/Plot chart" handout.
The wheels are turning, things are moving, we teach, learn, and enjoy each day.
Be cool.
First of all: Sorry about Cedric; I hate being sick, it makes me feel so powerless.
ReplyDeleteSecondly: Congrats on Finbar turning seven,I find that I never get used to calling myself by my new age until my next birthday.
Third: I remember when I was at Carnelian; simpler times, albeit less stimulating ones, although I was never outgoing enough to run for an office, so maybe that is why it was less exciting to me, regardless, good luck for Aodhan.
And of course: You have got to love the Calvin and Hobbes portrayal of perspective, and its take on neo-cubist art as an expression of it, although I could not help but notice a distinct lack of Hobbes in this one...
Oh well, have a good weekend McBride, take it easy and of course, be cool (thought I'd try it out).
thank you, Noah
ReplyDeleteyou are an officer & a gentleman
A is a little on the shy side of things, so I'm glad his friends are running for other offices, & they all got excited
during the day Ced seems to be fine, though he has horrible coughing fits all night
& Finbar is just enthralled with the idea of "7"
