For some reason theres no school the week of Thanksgiving. It's a nice break, when I was a kid we got Wed-Fri off the week of Thanksgiving and we thought that was great.
Unfortunatly there is always homework involved. Grace was assigned the play "Death of a Salesman" for reading, about a month ago. She decided to wait until this week to read it since it was small and she didn't want to forget the details when tested next week.
She said she didn't like the play. I decided to see if it was as bad as she was claiming or if she was just being a grumpy teen. It's a small book,easily read in a few hours. I have to say I agree with Grace on this one. Not sure what all the excitement is about it. Maybe the old movie is better, but honestly I don't know why the state has it on their reading list.
So, if you haven't read it, don't bother unless you're getting graded on it. It's a snooze. One more day of Thanksgiving vacation. Christmas will be here soon, then two weeks vacation :)
