Your work with the minimal script from "Juve" showed perceptive interpretation of a vague piece of writing.  Performances were entertaining and also brought across believable high school scenes.  Way to go!

Yesterday we chose jobs for our Remembrance Day Assembly and posted them in class.  The maturity of people during this process was admirable.  I was impressed with the way you all worked together.

The assembly should be great!

Games played recently:
"Show us your trade, if you're not afraid!"
"Murder Wink"
"Two truths and a lie"
"Who's the Leader?"
"Name Game"
"Annoying Personal Habits"

A big Thanks to everyone who brought in their field trip permission forms and money.  That is going to be an amazing day.
