Back to School, Back to School to Prove to Papa I'm no Fool

Humanitarians,

You've done it. You've conquered 3 WHOLE DAYS of school. Pat yourself on the back. At some point, lots of learning will happen, but sometimes the first days are the hardest because you would rather be asleep/watching Netflix/at the pool. Congrats!

Today in class we went over the welcome letter. PLEASE share this with your parents. They feed you so they probably deserve to know what's happening in your life!

I'm assuming if you are here, you have successfully found our website, but if somehow not, check tinyurl.com/jhshugemanatees and learn learn learn. Consider printing your calendar and penciling all the important dates in your planner!

Tomorrow, we will have a practice current event about the election. Read, read!

I don't have anything else. 

Today in history? Hell yeah!

• 79: Mount Vesuvius erupted and buried the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
• 
• 1572: 70,000 French Protestants, or Huguenots, were killed in the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre.

Today's social media to follow is so you can be connected to what's happening in Dallas. Follow @cscudder on Twitter. He is a Dallas Morning News Reporter and I have found him to be v. useful for knowing what's the haps. No pics this time, cause I mean it isn't the most exciting, just informative. I'll do better tomorrow. 

See ya tomorrow kiddos!
