BP 2/9
Hey guys,
Another day another time I'm out. This time is unexpected though because Alex has a fever and has to go to the doctor today.
So the first thing I'd like to do is apologize, I feel like I haven't been around that much this semester and it kind of breaks my heart. On Monday (if Alex is feeling better), we'll have another meeting and go over some of the other stuff that's going on.
You do have a podcast due today, submit it to the dropbox in Google Classroom. I've also had one kid tell me they are done with their Zeitgeist, so if you haven't started you should get on that. The other thing that I want you to ponder is a project for your Genius Hour. Over the weekend try to come up with three things that you would love to do if there were nothing holding you back. During out meeting we'll chat about them and try to come up with some sort of project for each of them.
It's very nice that I have such small classes, because normally it means that I'm able to develop close relationships with ya'll and be able to bond. That hasn't been the case this semester I feel, but I'll work to fix that. Anywho, here's your blog article for today...
OH!!! I almost forgot, we should have Chinese students today to turn in their stuff. Just set their bookbags down by the board. If you all are in the need for a bookbag, wait until Monday when we check in their stuff and get everything organized.
Now for your blog:

What are some low-cost interventions?
What do you think about this article? Be honest...
