How's this school year going for ya?

We've now been in school for more than a quarter and you've had some time to assess how things have been going.  We've had many changes this year to our advanced class, from having zero 6th graders to only having 13 students.  Many students left last year and because of that we've all had to take on more work to get the same things done, like our morning announcements and radios.  How do you feel about all of this?  How does this year compare to last year?  Better?  Worse?  Same?  What else can we all do to make things better?  Let me know what you think about how things are going and be sure to tell me why.  Focus on three things to write about and be sure you write your blog in the constructed response format with an intro, three paragraphs about your three things you'll talk about, and then a conclusion.  If you vlog, about it, make sure you still follow that format in what you talk about.
