Week 19 Week of May 20th

For the past week, we participated in the Praxis project experience. On Thursday, May 22nd, you will have both your Internal rubric grade and your Praxis Group Discussion grade. Since the Praxis presentation counts as the final grade (exam grade), I will need some more time to evaluate our final groups. If your group has not done so, please send your presentation to me as soon as possible.

Nichols lost two family members in the Grand Mesa mudslide in Colorado May 25, 2014. The Denver Post reports that her cousin Clancy Nichols, a Mesa County road and bridge department worker, and his son Daniel Nichols, a geologist, were checking slide damage near the irrigation source used by local farms when a massive slide buried them.
