Are you planning to be at the National History Day festivities in Maryland, June 10 through 14?
Did any of your kids put an entry into the National History Day Contest?
It may not be a national spelling bee, but I hope it gets some news coverage. If nothing else, go check out the collections of lesson plans and resources that come out of this competition.

Retired teacher of law, economics, history, AP government, psychology and science. Former speechwriter, press guy and legislative aide in U.S. Senate. Former Department of Education. Former airline real estate, telecom towers, Big 6 (that old!) consultant. Lab and field research in air pollution control. My blog, Millard Fillmore's Bathtub, is a continuing experiment to test how to use blogs to improve and speed up learning processes for students, perhaps by making some of the courses actually interesting. It is a blog for teachers, to see if we can use blogs. It is for people interested in social studies and social studies education, to see if we can learn to get it right. It's a blog for science fans, to promote good science and good science policy. It's a blog for people interested in good government and how to achieve it.

Good luck!
And, please report back with results, and anything else you can.
Or, could you get the girls to write something?

My wife is a teacher at Gibbs High School in St. Pete. Her girls just found out they made it to the finals in D.C. They compete next to last tomorrow. Wish them luck.
