My students and I wish to thank you for the lovely gifts you sent to our classroom. The students had a great time with their table partners trying to convince one another who REALLY discovered America. The varied reports of who did what led to a very interesting conversation about what is real or not real on the internet and how to be a discriminating reader.

Another class is eager to reach three more chapters over and read about the mystery of the explosion on the Maine. I had fun giving them a teaser and something to think about while waiting.

My last history class is finishing up WWII and have been assigned individual poster projects. The scissors and colored pencils have quickly come in very handy!
