I certainly hope we can find some serene thoughts this day.

Because we are in the month of December, I thought it was time to start thinking about what happened in the world in 2012. I always love when the news reports include a photo montage of the year in review. This year I may feel differently. Let's try to think about what happened this year starting way back in January 2012. Try to think about the second half of your 7th grade year and what events happened this past summer. September through December should be easy for you all because of your many current event assignments. This topic will take some research, I'm sure. It took me days and I have only scratched the surface. We may even have to ask the content teachers like Mr. Eckert, Mr. Szot, Mrs. Buccella, and Mrs. Howanich. Who else would have a handle on the pulse of the world? Mr. Gordon? Maybe. I think he would know what new trivia questions have surfaced in 2012. I bet there are many. Mr. Rizzo or Mrs. Gross? Has there been any new information that would concern a mathematician or accountant? There certainly have been many developments along those lines. Can you identify them? How about the economy?

I guess you will have to think about that now or even ask these knowledgable professionals. That's your task. I will post pictures, and I ask that you identify the event and the approximate time that it was in the news.

Celebrate.....
