YET means I'MPOSSIBLE

If you believe that anything can be done, the word "Impossible" quickly turns to "I'm Possible." What things are you not capable of yet? Don't be afraid to share - there are many things I wish I could do, or even just be better at. The powerful word YET reassures us that no matter the task, goal or challenge, if we try our hardest and believe it can be done, it will be done. Share your thoughts here.

#I'MPOSSIBLE.

#63Forever Bumper Sticker to be part of Q2 Rally


The more you get, the better your chances of winning. I'm talking about Red (or blue) tickets for our quarterly rallies. Figuring we could use a little "spice-up" for this quarter's celebration, I have designed, ordered and received (although they remain in an undisclosed location) NEW #63Forever BUMPER STICKERS. 

Finish this quarter strong, earn more tickets, and you may very well be one of the few taking home your own Bumper Sticker.

Learn Free - Ancient Egypt

As we approach Egypt's end, after exploring many, many topics, the surface has still only been scratched. Today is one of your rare opportunities to completely explore on your own. Find what interests, or maybe even relates to you. When we are personally invested in our learning, it becomes even more valuable. Some suggestions/ideas will be provided; however, if you wish to learn something else, feel free.

Add your newly-gained knowledge (period 2 period 4 period 5 period 9) for everyone in class to see. You are expected to contribute twice.
