Dear Parents,
Thank you for being patient will my illness lately. I will be out for minor surgery 5 December 2014. I will be out the week after this. I have a good friend, who is my sub. She is Jo Carraro, a former engineer at ATT and Bed and Breakfast owner in Puerto Rico. She is a traveler like me and understands history. She has been subbing/teaching Spanish at Twin Lake the last few months.
My students will not start History Fair until January. I don't feel I would teach this project well before the Holidays. You may get information at www.NHD.org , you will find the rules and theme. I will give the students a packet after they return from break. I am going to try to get the students to learn some new topics and concentrate on Jacksonville and Florida history. I will have a list of people and places to help them use local resources.
