Summer is coming up fast! If you could plan the ideal summer, what would you do? Why would you do these things? Your budget is endless, so be creative! 

Journal Prompt - May 23

There has been a lot of discussion lately about the benefit of having single gender classrooms (boys in one room and girls in another). Statistics show that each gender retains more information and in a shorter amount of time when being taught in separate classrooms. How do you feel about this? Would you like to be in a class with all girls or all boys? Why or why not? Write an essay stating your opinion and why you feel your opinion is the way to go!
