DST

Daylight Saving Time began in 1918. It is when we "spring forward" with our clocks. Does the change of time affect you? Are you glad it stays lighter longer? If yes, why? how?

Tell me why or why not having more daylight is better?

Amelia Earhart

On this day, in 1932 Amelia began her solo flight. Amelia was the first woman pilot to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. Amelia began to fly around the world in 1937 when she mysteriously disappeared and was never heard from again.

Have you ever flown in an airplane? If yes tell what it was like. If no, tell what you might think it is like?

Welcome to Dirksen Junior High's Literacy Lab. You will be expected to post on blog every day you are in class. Please remember that your blog can be viewed by not only myself, but your classmates. Everything here should be school appropriate.
