"Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough."

Monday, November 25

Today in class we were given time to work on anything that we need to have done. Some of my peers focused on Live Binder, while others were catching up on their blogging. Lindsay and myself chose to use this time to complete some online textbook quizzes that we had fallen behind on. Though these quizzes are not too difficult, they can be time consuming when you have to take eight in a row. We were able to complete four or five of them during class because we were a little distracted by other assignments at the same time. 

We were also working on our third activity with Alex and Madison. For this activity, we decided to create a direct instruction lesson to introduce new vocabulary and ideas to the students. The topic of this lesson is The Road to the Revolution:  events leading up the the start of the Revolutionary War. I think that this topic is very important to include in a unit on the Revolutionary War because it explains why the war itself actually happened. 

This week we only have one class due to Thanksgiving Break, so I will only be blogging once this week. Though we will not be in class, that does not mean that we will not be doing work! There is a lot of work to be done before the end of the semester. Only about two more weeks, and then we are done. The fall semester always seems to go by so quickly. It seems like only yesterday I was stressing out about this class and the beginning of my Junior year. 

I want to end by blog post for this week with my title quote:  "Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough." - Oprah Winfrey. It is the time to give thanks and to appreciate what we have in life. If you appreciate the little things in life, someday they will become the big things.
