Week of August 31

This week we are going to take a pilgrimage, kiss Unit 2 goodbye, and take some time to work on some real life skills like interviewing, writing resumes, and cover letters. :)

Can I also say to the approximately two of you who look at this page that I seriously love you? I have done that pilgrimage project for five years and I was just now SHOCKED when I went to the back of the room to check the state of the table where you left your projects. They are so neat and perfect!!! Y'all are so good to me and I really appreciate it!

This week will round out Unit 2. Although some of us have a few issues we need to work on (focus and phones being at the forefront), I really do enjoy this class.
