This week like a few of the others was an interesting week. First off I did not go to school on Monday because of the cohort meeting, so everything for me started on Tuesday. Tuesday was the start of ending everything about the cold war, and ending everything that the students had to know before the TAKS test. On Tuesday we talked about Neo-conservatism, which many of the students found interesting because the new conservatives had some strong opinions about what many of my students do as in how they live there life, and how they make a living. Wednesday we talked about the entrepreneurs of the 80’s and how they made significant impacts on the United States and world. Thursday was the very last thing, and it was pretty much putting everything together from what they had learned about LBJ, Civil Rights Movement, and Vietnam, to Ronald Reagan. This turned out to be quite successful, and most of the students enjoyed doing it. Starting of next week will be crazier because the 9th and 10th graders will be taking the STAAR test and so the 11th and 12th graders do not have to be at school until after lunch. I have a feeling we will have LOW attendance those 4 days.
