Optional Opportunities

Keep working on Genius Projects!

Check out this weather education site.

Remember, I put all the links that I’ve sent you up on the home page of my website, so you can still access them all summer. Plus I’ve streamlined my site a little, so now there’s a page just for student links. You might want to check that out too—I’ve added more things there.

You should definitely do one last Decade Day—the 90s! It’s time to party like it’s 1999!

The movie for the 90s is Galaxy Quest.

I remember Fruit by the Foot and Go-Gurt, but I don’t recognize any of the other snacks on this list, all from the 90s: Doritos 3D, Bubble Jug gum, Shark Bites, PB Crisps, Dunkaroos (1990), Gushers (1991), Pizzarias Pizza Chips, Crispy M&Ms, Butterfinger BB’s (1992), Push Pops, Fruit By the Foot (1991); Go-Gurt (1999); and Milk ‘n’ Cereal Bars.
