Thursday, January 23rd

Today we continued reading Gathering Blue and I gave a lesson about 1920's economics. Students who had difficulty following directions and paying attention were given an alternate textbook assignment in the hall.  

Curriculum Night
I'll be showing the following PowerPoints tonight at Curriculum Night:  
Also, as mentioned in the previous blog entry, the students would like to share their work after the winter break so they'll have time to finish their current projects and prepare presentations.
