It was really nice to see my kids again after the long break!  I don’t know how excited they were to be in school again after the break, but I know that I had a good day.  This also happened to be my last lesson that I designed and led for the 9^th Graders, so that was very bitter-sweet.  We did a primary source document assignment in which the students found two primary sources to read and write a description over before comparing and contrasting the two articles.  That concluded their exploration of World War I.  Hopefully they learned a lot and can be ready to describe the war to their parents when the 100^th anniversary of the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand comes up in about two months.  In the after school period of the day, I did my best to grade some of these assignments, but the Thunder game was going on.  So I Skyped my brother Jordan and he put the computer in front of the TV and we watched the game together and yelled at the TV and all that jazz.  Even though it was an OT heartbreaker, it was fun to watch it with my brother from 2.000 miles away.
