The impact will be around for multiple generations to come. Did we not think this would ever happen? My boys watch it on tv in disbelief.

It's so painful to think about the impact of this oil spill, it's such an unmitigated disaster. Every indication is that this will have terrible implications for many seasons to come. So, changing the subject, I LOVE the post below about your final days of this school year. I know it's a really over-the-top high pressure week for you but the material is so rich (and oogy). It's so cool that you find ways to make it meaningful at all levels of learning. And thank you for the lovely list. ;-)amarkonmywallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677008352624269050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-42407421533438193432010-05-30T18:04:33.244-05:002010-05-30T18:04:33.244-05:00I love that you give your students so many opportu...I love that you give your students so many opportunities for hands-on, up-close-and-personal learning.
