What to do for a paper cut!

Why do kids need bandaids for a stinkin paper cut? Maybe I went a little bit over-the-top with the size of this bandaid! Got everyone a good laugh though.

Student Work 101!!!

A HUGE thanks to Lydia V. who drew this half-man and half-mustang. What an unbelievable drawing. This will be hanging in my room for as long as I teach. Thanks again!!

Table of Contents Update 2-22-10

Here is the order that your Table of Contents should generally be in:

8. Five Themes Examination
9. Chapter 3 Vocabulary
10. Wheel of Culture/Culture Squares
11. What Culture Looks Like
12. Chapter 3 Study Guide
13. Wall of Culture
14. Chapter 18 Vocabulary

A good strategy for keeping worksheets in order is to number the worksheet itself in one of the top corners. That was a suggestion from a student! Please remember that you do not have all the papers listed above. I have a few of them for grading purposes.
