what is happening next!

No! No! No projects!!
I am still grading History Fair Projects. Some of the projects were great and some not. I have had a terrible time deciding on History Fair. There are 7 super exhibits! I am only allowed two slots! I am really proud of these wonderful students.

I did receive information about The World of Nations and plan to go on this Field trip the last weekend in April,first weekend of May. It is a wonderful experience.
The trip should run $10-15 dollars. This price will include food and drink tickets and the bus trip. Great trip to chaperon!

I am still trying to contact the AKA sorority for their Black History trip of Jacksonville. It is wonderful. Jacksonville was one of the most important cities for African Americans and businesses in the US. If anyone has a connect with this group please help me in contacting them.

Several wonderful things are happening in Jacksonville during this month. You can go to Kingsley Plantation to learn about Plantation life in this area. It was task slavery and not morning to night work. The history of the Plantation and Anna Kingsley are very interesting.
