Women Crush Wednesday… 17 days and Counting :)

Grade Boost!!! Once again… if you comment on the blog in regards to the daily heading, I will give you e.c. so here we go. Also, if you look under your grade level, there are some other options for E.C. Take advantage of the opportunities!  Please comment below-

For Women Crush Wednesday, post a character who is a WOMAN from a book or movie that you admire! Relax this doesn’t mean you have a real crush, but because you admire or even idolize this person, you can consider her your “WOMAN” crush.  I think  I my Woman Crush award goes to Hester Prynne! If you ever get the chance to read The Scarlet Letter, DO IT!!! Ostracized by her whole community, this little lady still managed to face the world EVERYDAY and stand behind her choice. Even when you make a mistake, you have to take responsibility for your actions and take it like a MAN! Strong woman, good stuff.  Also coming in close we have Katnis Everdeen from Hunger Games for obvious reasons. Ok, I shared my woman crush, please share yours 🙂

As we reach the END, please keep working diligently towards our end of the year goals! Please see me if there are any assignments you are missing or grades that you feel need improvement. Continue the hard work as we reach the final stretch towards SUMMER.

About jvpilar

Here's a little info about your teacher. I worked really hard to become your teacher. I went to UIC to get a degree in English, but decided to work as a writer in California. While I was there I realized I would rather work with kids than work in an office all day, so I decided to come back to Chicago and become a licensed, fully certified teacher. I earned a Masters Degree in Teaching and Education from Dominican University and got my first job at Hancock. During my 4 years at Hancock, I have taught English at every grade level. I started the Culinary Club and also sponsor BuildOn, both clubs do community service projects all over the city. I also have a cat named Duke that I rescued during one of our BuildOn service learning projects and a dog named Duchess.
