Sara Bliss replied to Connie Weber's discussion "46 States, D.C. Plan to Draft Common Education Standards" by Maria Glod"Ugh!! Another step in the wrong direction in my opinion.

I'm thinking of SO many ideas...
Anything I should be doing to get ready for next year?
I put up a forum on making music out of nature sounds... we could do that together. Also, maybe your students would like to be part of a radio show on education, if that takes off as a project with Steve Hargadon?
Thanks for listening to the show last week.
So many possibilities. I'm really excited. Should we get together this summer?
