July 1, 2014   Independence Day - John Adams "The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more."   Written Curriculum I have one volunteer to listen to the pitch. I already know its the right way to go, but would be beneficial to have principal/teacher ears to consider best next steps. I will shoot for mid July for the first listen. Let me know if you want in to hear more.   12 Things To Do When Things Go Well I love this.
