As the year comes to an end, I thought it would be fun to explore the cool short stories written by Ray Bradbury. This week we read:
"Dark They Were, and Golden-Eyed"
"The Golden Kite, The Silver Wind"
"All Summer in a Day"
Next week we will read
"August 2026: There Will Come Soft Rains"
View the "You Tube" video to see the video adaptation of "August 2026: There Will Come Soft Rains".

Advanced LA - Theme Plays!
I'm looking forward to seeing the advanced LA students performances! Students are currently working on their rough drafts for a play they will perform in class after Memorial Day Weekend! There are 5 groups and all of them have been hard at work. Because of these students busy schedules we are using classroom time to write the play, rehearse and make background scenes all in class! It is great watching them be so creative!!! Below is the information the students received.
