Hey, folks!  What a day!  You handed in what you ASSURED me were a huge stack of "A" performances in your friendly letters.  I can't wait to read 'em!  After that, we began breaking down the idea of "metacognition", or "thinking about thinking".  To do this, we're going to tackle Bloom's Taxonomy for Thinking, which will help us move away from the lower two levels (Understanding and Comprehension) and into the upper levels of Application, Analysis, Evaluating, and Synthesis.  Remember the example of creating a bird house in wood shop class if you need a little help.  Great work today, and no homework for tomorrow...unless you didn't hand in your letter packet today.  Oh, don't forget to wear your green and gold!
