Yes, it's true. Spring break is done and over with! It's time to get back to LEARNING! I thought updating the blog might be a good start...so here goes :)

7 - Causes of the Depression (page 90 to 93)

8 - Desperate Years - Suffering (pages 94 to 100)

10 - I am "away" (Grade 7s are visiting so I will be in the building...just not teaching you). The TOC will work with you on the Depression in the rest of the World (pages 114 to 115)
