Class based - I think anytime I put a lot into a novel study with lots of integrated learning, I knew the kids would love it #UTedChat

So we started by bashing on Maine, then ignoring Kentucky, and now denigrating Idaho. #utedchat Stay classy Utah!

I believe it was because Fillmore is more central to the state, but not enough of the population were there. #UTedChat
