RV Across America Update


Hey gang. Here is an update on our long-term project for the United States. To recap for any student who is unsure what I am talking about... We are taking a RV trip across the U.S. (fictional!) and will be making about 160 different stops. Each of you will make a very short presentation for your destination at a time to be determined later on.




So here is the most important thing - EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE SIGNED UP BY FRIDAY OF THIS WEEK!!!




Any questions please let me know.

Extended Weekend - What to do.



Just because we won't see eachother for a very extended period of time doesn't mean that you should simply forget about reviewing your states or physical map of the U.S. You will be taking two quizzes when you return so please don't be this guy and sleep through the next four days or so!!! STUDY a little bit.
