  1. Jennifer...you have no reason to feel left out amongst us! Some things go over my head sometimes...shh! don't tell anyone!;-) We have read 2 things: "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky" by Stephen Crane and "Desiree's Baby" by Kate Chopin. We also have to write a love poem and a love story in honor of Valentine's Day. The poem has to be around 8 lines long and has to have at least 8 "Emily Dickinson" words. As for the love story, it has to be flash fiction...really, really short, like Katy's story for example. Other than that, we have our usual intestering discussions. Hope to see you Monday! =) And I hope your son is doing better!
