LAST BLOG, DUE TODAY! :)

Take some time thinking back to the whole school year.  You can go to my website and revisit each 9 weeks to remind yourself the types of activities we did: http://www.oncoursesystems.com/school/webpage.aspx?id=482087  For example, there was the Civil Rights unit, Glogs, Communism and the 1950s, field trips, books (Lay That Trumpet in Our Hands, Shakespeare, etc.), etc.  What did you enjoy about your school year in our REACH class?  Be specific and write a lot!  Way more than 50 words are required!  Also, if you have anything that you would like changed or ideas for improvement, please feel free to leave those ideas, too!  As a teacher, we prefer to get ideas straight from the most knowledgeable source -- you all! 

Also, respond to TWO other classmates.  TWO classmates.
