Chinese New Year 2019–Year of the pig! Alexandra Burpee shares her family traditions with our class.

Like The Stamp Act Tax during the American Revolution, Mr. Kulik imposed a tax using paper in the classroom and would be charged 25 cents to have any work graded.  Was there a revolt, boycott or better - our own Tea Party?!  Luckily, just an example about unjust taxes. #engage142

I’m excited to see my new friends tomorrow!

I was excited to share this picture of my new granddaughter, Anna Alexandra, with my students today 😊

Ss investigate how electrical energy requires a circuit and make their own mini flashlights from LEDs, button batteries and stripes of aluminum foil. Way to light up our day!

Ending our Red Ribbon Week with “We Mustache you not to get tied up on drugs”.

I’m blessed to work with such an amazing friend!

Great time at the wolves game! #engage142 Chicago Wolves
