		<title>Wednesday, 2/8</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This month we celebrate Black History Month. Black History is so much more than black athletes and entertainers. While they played a huge role in African American History, it does a dishonor to only feature the likes of Oprah or Michael Jordan. Take some time this month (and every other month for that matter) to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Congratulations to the Giants</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have to admit, I didn&#8217;t think the Giants would win the game. I also have to admit, I didn&#8217;t watch much of the game. I&#8217;m just glad we only a little more than a week away from Spring Training. In fact, opening day is less than 2 months away! 1. Favorite Moment of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Weekend of 2/4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Superbowl Weekend. I&#8217;m sure some of you will be coming in to school bleary eyed after watching the game and all of the commercials. Don&#8217;t forget to check out the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet. It is always a fun show (at least for a few minutes). We even watched a few minutes of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is Ground Hog Day today. But really, even if the groundhog sees his shadow does it matter? I don&#8217;t necessarily have a problem with 6 more weeks of winter if it is going to be the winter we&#8217;ve had thus far. Sadly, Punxsutawney Phil is no longer the most famous resident of that otherwise [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly.&#8221;&#8211;Thomas Paine&#8217;s The American Crisis We will be talking about the Crisis in class today. That line in the Crisis is very powerful and very true. The more we work at something the more special the accomplishment feels. It was very important for Washington to convince his [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tuesday, 1/24</title>

This was definitely a teacher book and not something a student would want to read. In fact, it read like a textbook more than anything else. There were a few ideas/thoughts that were helpful. Overall I was [...]]]></description>
