a VERY cool thing...

The Central Minneapolis library and the Minnesota Historical Society hosted a History Day Hullabaloo this past Saturday. I told my kids all about it and really tried to sell them on the idea. I offered a TON of extra credit. I figured if they spent a Saturday at the library and if their parents drove them downtown they deserved a sizable reward. Around 20 of my students went to this event. Most said that it helped them a lot with History Day but everyone agreed that the library was really cool. Can you believe that?! 8th graders said the library was cool! I am very excited about this!
