Wow…


It’s been a crazy first week, first with introductions - then with two long days of rigorous TAKS pretesting. whew. But I think we picked it up and had some fun with the puzzle activity today, and tomorrow we’ll continue the theme with learning about the roles of professionals who study the past, including the historian, geographer, archaeologist, and anthropologist. Look for the podcast tomorrow!

I encourage you, your classmates and your parents to take an active role in the discussions taking place here.
