Summer Learning Blog Treasure Hunt




Summer Learning Blog Treasure Hunt



Over the summer, I keep a summer learning blog, with links to some of my favorite websites, the Holy Trinity Summer Reading Lists, and your summer assignments.  The 6th grade assignment for next year has not yet been finalized, but I would like you to spend this class exploring the websites that were posted on my blog last summer, and answer a series of questions for me… to help me plan what I should focus on this summer…

Try to fill out as much as you can during class time.  I have given you a long list of questions, so you may not quite finish.  I will be traveling this week, but I would like you to copy and paste this document into an Email and send it to me at the end of class...
