Easter.
Hello everyone. Spring break just happened even though it wasnt much of a break. But I would rather have something than nothing. Easter happened also and we got a big thing full of candy as tall as my little sister. Mostly chocolate that I wont eat. Easter bunny came brought me and my family some things. I colored eggs with my sister. It was a blast :) I love her and it. We also had a easter egg hunt that me and my brother took part in. Very funny at that time. My parents put money in it and im not talking like quaters or pennies. They put sixty dollars just in the egg hunt. Layton only found seven but had two hundred from work. I found twenty-four. Which left Makenna with like thirty-four. Makenna was so happy because she never gets that much money let alone finds the golden egg. After we had the egg hunt when dad got off of work we went up to my grandmas grave in newark and planted flowers and made it pretty. It was fun to go visit her again. Havent been up there but like two times since she past away last july. I got home and went over and stayed with Shawnna and that was alot of fun. So in the end that was my easter. Funn for me.

Mississippi proposes selfspaced, online curriculum
A Mississippi superintendent found a new $20 million proposal that will offer seven new career paths for high school students. Also some online courses that will help the high schoolers get prepared. The plan is called Redisigning Education for the 21st Century Workforce in Mississippi. This proposal is a vision for the future for Mississippi's middle and high school students. The state wants the kids to pick classes that go with their future career. And for the kids that wanna graduate ealry or that are behind can take online courses that would get them ready to. They have made this proposal because they wanna make a less drop out rate for the students and keep them on the right path for the future. The superintendent says that the curriculum is default and it is more on a college level than a high school/middle school level. The superintendent hopes that proposal will help students like these recognize they have a wider array of options beyond dropping out of school. The program will let the kids move at their own pace and will also receive support through on-site instructors.
