Using Microsoft Word to do blog

Boss’ Suggestion

Composing a Personal Timeline
Some of the cherubs turned in their personal timelines, today. Some were really cool! A couple were sad, such as, one student that recalled the most memorable moment in his life was when his cat died, several years ago.

How much is a million?
Tomorrow, we will see how many pennies it takes to make a million, even a billion. However, that activity is web-based, particularly, if I had a million pennies, I most certainly would be retired and living on some tropical beach. To enhance the lesson, one millimeter is equal to a year. How far would we have to walk in the building until we counted a million millimeters? We’ll use a trundle wheel. Why do this? Well, Earth supposedly is 4.5 billion years old. Its hard to equate that number with something our meager senses can comprehend. If we scale it down to a measurable number we can do in class, then something should be learned.

Today’s Social Studies lesson?
Prayer in school. The textbook reviewed a wonderful Supreme Court case of Engle vs. Vitale, and we, decided to hold our own case based on the facts. One part of the class agreed with the court decision, while another group disagreed and a third group simply said, “I need more information.” Tomorrow, we debate.

Have a great night.
