Scribing for 11-20-06 by Stephen Field

Today in Ms.Smith's class we work silently either to finish our This I Believe essays or The Chosen reading. I myself can not do much seeing that I left my copy of The Chosen on the coffee table in my family room. Everyone is working attentively but there are those who still like to chat or send whispers scurrying across the room. I have also found a few that just mess around on the computers. It is very quite in the class room. Everyone seems anxious to get the day done because of the five day weekend ahead.
