News Brief: Emma had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: Philly.com - Wave of bogus threats hits schools in four states. We talked about this story, and other recent school threats, as well as the importance of talking about and preparing for such a threat. I wonder if these events are happening more frequently because it is around finals time?
The next news brief was assigned to Lindsay, who kindly volunteered.

Commissioner Fritz: The next part of class was taken by my mom coming to talk about her experience as a Portland City Commissioner. It was great to have her in to talk with us, after we have talked so much about State and Local Government during the past few weeks! Thank you for your interest, focus, and questions! I'm glad that you got to meet my mom!
CRLE Forms: I'm also glad students completed one of the four CRLE forms you need to graduate! :-)
Final Study Guide: At the end of class, I passed out the final study guide for the test next week. Here it is (at least, the first page), if you missed class or wanted to see it again:
Next class (on Monday), we will play Jeopardy again to review for the test, then the rest of class will be used for studying again. Your final for this class is next Wednesday at 7:45 AM. See you next week!
