Notes:

We did some catching up today, letting kids who were out last week know what they missed. Things are finally getting back tomorrow after all the drama of the play last week (pun intended) and the excitement of the Ancient Civilization Museum. Speaking of which, the play was exciting, funny, sad and hearwarming. Congrats to all the performers. I'll be handing out grades for our Ancient Civilization project this week. You took so much time working on the project, I like to be just as deliberate when I give you my grades. You all should be proud of the work you did on it.
