dunce and cornball, attorneys at law




well, i guess i missed the first child slog celebration. i know i'll be forgiven, though. a day late i give you dunce and cornball. what's the difference between rule of law and justice? does this question even make sense or is it like asking what's the difference between pasta and spaghetti or between trial and error or between dunce and cornball?

extra extra (but not nearly enough)






the front page of the wrap-up project. but what does it all mean and what learning took place other than i know someone who can put a nice newspaper together? (in fact, we're married. thanks mrs b!) i've learned this teaching involves a lot of work. also, these important lessons never end:

• planning
• planning
• being prepared
• planning

if graded on these lessons right now, my rubric would read barely developing. nonetheless, the kids seemed to have liked seeing their feature articles cleaned up and published.
