Welcome Back!

How was your break?
Write a haiku that references a moment or experience from your vacation.  If you are stuck, you may also write one about how you are feeling right now back in school.

staycation is bliss 
waking up slow to "I spy"
and pancake requests


Where are we going next?



New starter system!


Circle:  What are our preconceived notions about the history(ies) of the indigenous peoples of this continent?

Let's read stories!
Check out a copy of The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven.
