resources were hard to work with?  Why?

Thinking forward to January when we begin our BIG research
projects, what sorts of topics would you have an interest in
learning more about?  These topics can range from something
or someone that you have a special interest in or a historical

know about the topic.

Happy Holidays!

Let it Snow!

Now that winter is truly upon us, let's talk snow!
