Everybody's working for the weekend.  Hey Hey.

At this, the end of our 3rd week of school, we are getting into our groove.  And that groove includes the anticipation created by the weekend.

We like to finish strong in Texas History.  These Fridays are our fun days where we wrap up the week, or we get ready for the next.  

As we discussed the pictographs found in Paint Rock, we also prepared ourselves for the Native Texans we encounter next week.

So many students can't imagine people from over 15,000 years ago, not to mention what people 15,000 years from now will think.  Therefore, the evidence we studied today, and then created, kinda gives us some perspective about the first people in Texas.

Today, I asked students how we figured out the meaning of the Egyptian hieroglyphics.  First answer:  Google.

Ask a 7th grader to imagine life without computers.  The shock and awe is well worth your time.

Next week, we'll consider the environment encountered by the earliest native tribes in these here parts.

How did they make fires?

I'm sure a student, or 5, will suggest they Googled the instructions.

Peace
