"Hi John,
So glad we could "bring history to life" for you through the senses! Thank you also for being my minuet partner =)

"Hi Melodie,
Thanks so much for your curiosity and participation during our class! It is clear that history is a passion for you and what a benefit that is to your students. Your looping curriculum between 5th and 6th gives you a terrific window of…"
Thanks so much for taking the risk with our "potentially painful" class & you made it! ;) I hope your middle schoolers enjoy "High Five Buddy", "Numbers", the Waltz, tableaus, Lucky Seven and the Stroll - non-threatening and fun!
You made…"
"This was a really fun assignment, but I probably wasted a lot of time listening to old recordings that had nothing to do with my ARS!

Just in case you don't see the message out on the comment box, I found this beautiful site that shows clearly the moves for the minuet...thought you might like to take a look. I also found out through this site that the Library of Congress calls the Minuet Baroque Dancing and maybe that is why I could not find what I was looking for!
What a compliment it is to be told I have "beautiful enthusiasm"! I'm glad it showed.
I have been trying to send you pictures and can see them but not sure you can see them. Also, am attempting to send you the movies. If I can't send them now, maybe I can get them on a disc. Believe me, you'll want to see these.
Will definitely look into taking the 4 day class next year... what heaven!! You've lit a fire!
I am horribly embarrassed to admit that I had June 20th in my mind rather than June 2nd. My other class's paper was due on the 20th and who knows what went on in my mind, but I definitely had it wrong. I have been thinking about it and how I want to proceed, just had it wrong.
I really don't need the credit and I guess what bothers me the most is I haven't been so excited about a class for years! I've been telling everyone about what I've learned and the connections I've made. I've just put it off and just about to get on it when I saw last night that I missed the deadline. I said bad words. So didn't even see your post until today.
So please let me know how to proceed from here. If it's too late, I certainly understand. But if not, I can get right on it.
I do have some wonderful photo's and movies that I took the last day. I know how to attach photos and definitely want to get the movies to you. The hip hop movie was a wonderful testament to the power of the class and the willingness of teachers to learn, risk, and grow to reach students.
So please let me know how to proceed. I will check daily until I hear from you.
Good afternoon! I'm having trouble with my project. I want to do something with Constitution day for my kids, and I was thinking of discussing the document and doing some activities. I can only find one song, and it doesn't have music,...so really it is a poem. Any suggestions? Maybe I just need to find a different topic.
Thanks, Jennifer
