Flatonia Elementary Memo
Inspired this week by TedTalks!
There are lots of them out there, on a variety of topics, and pretty much anything you want to hear about.
One of the most recent TedTalks that I watched was something that I felt was worth sharing. I hope that it provokes your thoughts as well.....

I figure there must be other people in my same boat-- searching endlessly for the perfect end of the year activity-- so I compiled a huge list of the best end of the year activities I have found and use.
