Welcome and onto the steppes...

Back at it today, though yesterday was a weird schedule - we were on a 2-hour delay. Zthe kids are not quite as feral as I expected, which is nice! Then again, we aren't out of the woods - we have the looming threat of NTI (online learning) at some point this week, and another storm possibly around the end of the month.

There are several new folks here, and please let me say WELCOME! I know I have not gotten to respond to all of you in person yet (I pretty much got home from school and was out cold by 6-ish?), but I will, and I am SO glad you're here!

This week we started on the Mongols. It's a fun unit to teach, and it leads nicely into our upcoming coverage of medieval China. Of course, I had to introduce the kiddos to the Mongolian metal band, The Hu. If you haven't ever seen them, check them out below!

(Not sure if iframes still work here; I guess we'll see!)

Well, I will definitely take any excuse to listen to Yuve Yuve Yu again!

Glad to hear easing back into classes wasn't too difficult. Maybe the 2-hour delay helped ease things in?

I had to introduce the kiddos to the Mongolian metal band, The Hu... - I'd be curious, what were their reactions? :)

Nice song! I could get into that kind of music.

Good luck with the semester!
