February is African Heritage Month

2/6/2011

64 Comments

 
This Month is African Heritage month. It’s a time for us to remind ourselves of the events and people who have made significant contributions to Black heritage. Here is a list of people or group of people. You are welcome to click on their name to get an idea of their biographical info. Go ahead and share your thoughts about anyone who interests you. You will be asked to do some further research and do a cereal box report on one of these people. Only three students will be allowed to report on the  same person so make up your mind quickly

Mrs. Andega about the buddy system I don't have a buddy and alot of people are wanting to swap buddies. Can we have Braelyn make the new buddies! And Braelyn, Antoine Mykala, and I were wanting to know if we could have a class meeting for ten min. on Fridy because we want to make sure everybody knows whats going on and Braelyn wanted to discuss the behavior issue that has been happening with the class. We really think that the whole class could do better and that it was just a bad week for us.
