The trip was wonderful!!! The children and I had a great time. We thank Mr. Russo for helping us out and being our chaperone. The children got to see 3 criminal sentencing, a naturalization ceremony, and a 3 billion dollar deal go down...It was a day none of us will forget.

This is the beginning of a new trimester. This is a great time to start fresh. We are now going to be doing a lot of differentiated learning in our classroom. This means that the students will get a choice of 1 of 3 activities. The choices will be either a "LIke it,: "Love it," or "Gotta Have It" activity. We had the first day of this and things went really well. Everyone seemed to be fully engaged :)
