Great job last week on your Vocabulary Terms!  I have seen some really good scores on the quizzes.  Since so many people were interested in talking about the National Debt and responsibilities of the Secretary of the Treasury, I am currently creating a lesson on balancing the national budget. We will break into small groups and now you will have the power to make the decisions.  Look for it next week!  Until then, I leave you with some inspiration.  Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Alexander Hamilton.

I hope your break went well.  I know many of you are rested and ready to come back.  Just listen to this eagle.

"I am an eagle.  I hate long breaks from school.  American Studies does for my brain what small animals do for my belly...provide nourishment!!!  I can't wait to swoop back in to CBMS!"

Well said eagle, well said.
