Thanksgiving Day at Slater Junior High

What a beautiful job the teachers and student council did to create  to make our cafeteria look like a real celebration!!!!

This is a movie that just came out in theaters about a Brooklyn school that has a champion chess club.

Slater has a Chess Clulb on Tuesday afternoons. If you want to join, the more the merrier!! Let's be like Brooklyn Castle. I am dying to see this movie that just came out in theaters. I think I will go during Thanksgiving Vacation.

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Please make sure you take the time to read a good book, magazine or blog when vacation begins. There is always something wonderful to discover in a good read!

Ms. Migliore told me about this book a couple of months ago and said it is so good, yet disturbing. Of course I had to go get it!! And yes, I got it from the library, not a bookstore. She was right! It was so good. It is a story about kids who at a certain age become unwound, or have to give up parts of their bodies so other people can use them to become stronger, smarter, more athletic or just get healthier. But what happens to the kids who get unwound? Yikes. Loved it. 

This reading started my fixation with the author Neal Shusterman. I am reading Dreadlocks to my classes and reading the sequel to this which is call Unholy. If you like kinda creepy books, check this out.
