Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
Today we started a new book. This one is going to be more challenging. I was struggling with some of the vocabulary. You can figure most of it out with context clues but I think it will take us a little longer to get through this book.

The end of the book had a little bit of a twist. Both Little and I did not see it coming and you will have to read the book to know what it was. Good luck and happy reading.

Beetles
Day: Wednesday, July 4, 2012
Book: A Field Guide To High School
Pages read: 97- 120
Time: 20 minutes
Today we discussed the beetles or the faculty. It was a little confusing because the author did not do a good job of distinguishing different type of faculty members. I am a teacher and I didn't even see myself in the categories. I guess she just didn't know about the diverse group of teachers that a school usually has.

Caterpillars
Day: Tuesday, July 3, 2012
Book: A Field Guide To High School
Pages read: 91-96
Time: 20 minutes
This section was about the different types of students but it added more detail. It gave similar species, examples, behavior, identification, as seen in, habitat, and description of each type. Little related most to the Hawkings. There are geeks and nerds. They said Hawkings are like caterpillars. You might think they are furry and gross and first but if you wait around long enough they turn into beautiful butterflies.

Have you ever heard of "Wellington Day"?
This is the name of the headmaster's dog (or was) and if the current headmaster's dog relieves himself in a particular place on campus then the students get the next day off. This is a novel idea, too bad public schools haven't tried it.
The other funny part of the book was the break down of the freshman class: 3 football-players, 1 slut, 1 gay boy who doesn't know it yet, 1 crazy as in cuckoo girl, 1 legacy son, 6 geeky short guys, 1 class clown, 1 weirdo, 2 popped-collar preps, 2 hippie girls, 2 skater dudes, 2 juvie boys, 8 nondescript girls, 1 Mafia princess, 1 undeserving queen bee, 2 mean girls, 1 androgynous outcast, 1 scary smart guy, 1 old-money snob, 1 black girl, 1 Indian boy, 1 goth girl, your 1 friend, and you! This is DEFINITELY not public school!
