    I also pasted the entry Mr. Kline had about the bib formatting:

    -the other song we listened to in class, again pasted Mr. Kline's note:

      By the way, with the exception of the Homeless Yoga one and the two songs, I am pretty sure these are in alphabetical order by author's last name :)

    Hello world,
    So I was just wondering if you guys could remember to take good notes. So far I've missed two days and will probably be gone tomorrow(Tuesday) and you guys have been having all sorts of conversation without me *harumph*. So if you guys could remember to take notes on whatever is being discussed, that would be much appreciated :)

    And thank you McKenna for being awesome with the bibliography list.
