Today was Fun Friday, though it was also a mad push to finish Whirligig in my 8th grade classes. I think that Whirligig is one of the most difficult books most of the 8th graders have ever read; it is very adult in theme and vocabulary, not to mention the fact that it references all sorts of cultural norms that many of us have never experienced. Nevertheless, we finished the book and have completed our challenge!
