I feel confident that you have discovered many of the skills and tools that will help you to become responsible, empowered voters in the future.
Please respond to these prompts as a way of bringing closure to our campaign trail experience.

I (liked, didn't like) learning about the candidates and election process because ___________.

Schools Out for Summer!!!


Yes, it's that time again! Students, I hope you have a few fun, relaxing plans in motion for the next two months. I will be working a little-teaching technology at a camp for teachers called Camp Plug & Play 3.0, traveling to Tucson, AZ; San Antonio, Texas; maybe San Francisco, CA and Niagara Falls, New York.
If you want to share some your summer travel plans, you can post them here. Please remember to take lots of pictures and maybe even note your experiences in a journal so you will have plenty to write about next year in our classroom!
TTYS-
Ms. C
