"Do I dare disturb the universe? In a minute there is time for decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse...I should have been a pair of ragged claws, scuttling across the floors of silent seas..." - T.S. Eliot
"I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself king of infinite space..." - Shakespeare
"And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt." -Sylvia Plath
I. Online Communication:
Hello all! We have two online tools for communication this year:
1. This website (unfortunately proving to be unreliable in terms of availability)
2. NING - This site does not crash or go through maintenance issues for hours at a time, so from now on we'll be using this source for our permanent documents, attachments, questions, and postings. Please make this your new classroom site, and resort to using this online location for every possible assignment or question you may have. Thanks for your cooperation!
Collaborative Bathje/Butler NING Link (to be used for outside book club postings)
PARENTS: If you would like access to your student's NING website, please email me and I will approve of your membership request when you submit it!
II. Downloading Files:
NOTE ON FILES UPLOADED: I usually upload .pdf files to NING to ensure that the files are compatible with your software at home.
If you do not have a PDF reader, you will need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader. Click here for a FREE download to be able to view PDF files:

If you would like to view any Power Point presentations that I post, go to the link below (it will take you to the Microsoft website). Scroll down and click on the "download now" to download this FREE software without purchasing the program:
