Elf Yourself at JibJab


If you need something fun to do during our break, why not try to "Elf Yourself"? Tim Wagner recently did this and sent me a link to his fun little video. Be creative and send one to your grandparents or a favorite aunt or uncle. Drag out those old family photos and put your pets, siblings, or parents in the faces. Think of it as a kind of therapy or relaxation session. Get rested up and we'll see you in the new year.
Merry Christmas! Mrs. H.

shmoop!


Have you checked out shmoop yet? Take a look at http://www.shmoop.com/ and I think you'll find you can use this site today for many of your classes. There are study guides for bestsellers and literature, poetry, US History, Civics, Biographies and Music. If you need a timeline for the making of the U.S. Constitution, the theme to Eclipse or the lyrics to Purple Haze, shmoop will help you. I showed it to Mr. Morrison yesterday and he used it for one of his classes that same day. Wow - it doesn't get better than that.
