Unsent Letters; Shattered Glass

Ironically, just today I typed up two notes to go home expressly today, and neither one was copied to be sent. It's okay, because I will send them tomorrow. Anyway, the first was a reminder of this very blog, because I've had some questions recently from people about material that's been on the blog recently. Unfortunately, this is only being read by regular readers because that note didn't go home today. Not that it matters, because by the time I'm writing this, the only people reading this "today" are the insomniacs who won't even remember reading this tomorrow morning.

The second note is about the note cards for the research papers. I will let that note speak for itself when it comes home, but please know that I did tell the kids earlier that the deadline has been moved back to February 3rd, and I'm only going to want 30 to 40 note cards instead of the earlier 40 to 50.

You should have seen a take-home test come home for Social Studies tonight over slavery. We spent quite a bit of time discussing all those topics before this, so hopefully they didn't have too much trouble.

Lastly, after asking the kids if they had seen the footage of Boomer shattering the backboard of a local high school gym during a basketball game, I had to show them the footage on Youtube. It's only 42 seconds long, but it's pretty funny. Evidently, Boomer is accustomed to a break-away rim. And evidently whoever runs that school's athletic program and allowed Boomer to visit has never seen what Boomer does with a trampoline and a basketball during a Pacers game.
