Librarian tomorrow update: at Library, not our room

Hi Class,

Our Librarian, Rachel, can’t come to our classroom tomorrow morning; instead, she wants us to meet her at the Library. So we will meet in the classroom first, take roll, etc., and then go to the Library together.

Rachel is really a great Librarian. I think she will be happy to adapt to what you want to discuss. I am going to put some of the main topics that I have gotten from you, below.

Elon Musk

“Starship” and Mars/space exploration and colonization

The core values of gracious professionalism and coopertition, as well as those of Robotics competitions

New York City — is it livable? How is it really doing?

Oceanography

Soccer and in particular Real Madrid — what makes them so competitive?

I got most of these from Worksheets that were completed on time. I am not going to take any more late Worksheets, so, if you want to add more topics to ask her about, I welcome you to add them as a Comment to this post.

Our in-class writing for Monday (a first look), et al

Hi Class, As I mentioned before, you won’t be writing your “mornings” when you get to class this month. Instead, during in-class-writing time, you will be brainstorming and working on your Research.

If you would like a jump on what you will be writing when you come to class Monday morning, here it is: A second worksheet.

LOOKING AHEAD: A Librarian is coming to visit our class on Wed, Mar 20.
