Proud Americans


Happy Independence Day, everyone! 

This last school year alone, we had students from places from all corners of the U.S.A.: Arizona to Delaware, from Minnesota to Alabama. We are happy to come from the land of the free and the home of the brave. 

Hope everyone makes some cool memories today. Have a good one!

And parents: If your kids get bored today, just print them off a copy of the Declaration of Independence and ask them to not only read it aloud, but explain what it means, as we painstakingly did in class this year. I'm sure they remember the whole thing.

Thanks, Paige!!!!!!!!!!!

And Ruby: I'm so glad you watched that. I saw that it was going to be on, and it made me regret that we didn't get to finish watching it and discuss it at the end of the school year. It's an excellent documentary. So well done.

Hope you're both having a great summer!
