Weather humor: | Hello all, Great trip to Peru - saw Caral, Kuelap and the Gocta falls (as well as various tias - those that were still around to be seen). Half way through 2nd semester, teaching 2 AP World History classes and one Comparative Religions class (in which I hope to have a video conference soon and a multi-point video conference on May 15th!!!!). Next year is full of uncertainty, so no clue what or where I will be teaching but apparently not APWH or Comparative Religions at Northwood!!! Have conquered the baklava - not as hard as it looks, don't let phyllo scare you. Next culinary goal - Pate de canard en croute (Boned stuffed duck baked in a pastry crust). Also dabbling in Vietnamese cooking, yummy! Maria is into Star Wars, Harry Potter, Nerf weapons and American Girls (yea history!). MCPS recently released data on performance on AP exams and I must say I think my kids at Northwood did pretty darn well last year. The chart below shows Northwood in red, MCPS average in purple, and other schools in blue (the highest one is Whitman). Yea! Hopefully the kids this year will rise to the challenge!
