Quote of the Day: "And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more." -Dr. Seuss
Agenda:
FINAL TEST OF THE SEMESTER.
Over the holiday break, think about a theme for WHAP T-Shirts. We will need to create it soon and order it in Feb-March for it to be ready for the test.
We will begin Chapter 14 when we return from the break with the 2nd half of the video - America Before Columbus. It will look at the impact of Columbian Exchange on the world.
