Hello researchers!

  I’ve been busy in my first few days off from teaching.  I have posted a familiar picture that I took while traveling last weekend.  I know you will know what it is, but what do you know about it?  What is the story behind it?  I encourage you to post the facts you find.  Try it in your own words please!

As I said in class, this date is an important one for grown ups.  Do you know why?  In addition to what this date represents for adults, there are some other major historical events that happened on this date.  Do some research and post your answers.  I would appreciate some web links if you find a spot that gives answers.  Ask me for help!  Good luck.



Happy Spring!

The second challenge question topic to be posted is about the arrival of spring.  While this date has already passed, I challenge you to research this topic.  What does the term mean?  What happens on this date?  Here is a short video I found.  I challenge you to prove it true or false!

This week’s Challenge Question is about St. Patrick’s Day.  We know that you are supposed to wear green and that leprechauns sneak around, but why?  Research the history behind this day.
