5 Extra Minutes

If you find yourself with 5 extra minutes at the end of class today, you may consider showing this video from Flocabulary.  They do a "Week in Rap" every Friday on all the current events that are happening in our world.  It makes for some pretty interesting discussions between our students and us.
