Of course it's only 2nd grade, but we don't go much passed the Civil War (with the emphasis on Abraham Lincoln)! They're supposed to go further in grades 3,4,5 and 6. But what are carpet baggers? I've never mentioned them in my lessons.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16725753993440817160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948766.post-1129865111452157852005-10-20T22:25:00.000-05:002005-10-20T22:25:00.000-05:00Hey, I had a coach for history, too!

This guy was so obtuse, when I gave him a caricature I had drawn of him in art class (emphasizing the low-slung ears and beady eyes), he got all emotional about what a thoughtful gift it was.little davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07216663347416536106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948766.post-1129853447763309712005-10-20T19:10:00.000-05:002005-10-20T19:10:00.000-05:00You'd think jonboy has something against high scho...You'd think jonboy has something against high school football. As for a history teacher, mine was a tennis coach. It was my driver's ed teacher that was the football coach, which probably explains my accident last weekend.SplineGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11950611669102624191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948766.post-1129848110905156642005-10-20T17:41:00.000-05:002005-10-20T17:41:00.000-05:00Ptooi!

It gagged us all, since she was only a little older than we were and we thought he was the grossest thing on earth! No football coach he. No sirree.... <BR/><BR/>funny. I thought Henry Kissinger was a funny guy too somehow. I thought he was an actor or something until I was much older. <BR/><BR/>Happy B day Art!Captainwowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07293907026712866689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948766.post-1129820956572138172005-10-20T10:09:00.000-05:002005-10-20T10:09:00.000-05:00Yes! yes!

They could always relate the civil war to Friday night's game. The fact that you made it to the civil war is itself quite astounding.<BR/><BR/>By the way, a sixth grader reaching Art Buchwald ... I always said you were a freak.jonboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14210549258953756393noreply@blogger.com
