Today is the first class in our new four class set. 

                       The phrase of the week is, "get it off the ground." We use this phrase to describe starting a project. For example, "I have a great idea for a new business, but I don't know how to get it off the ground."

                        Today's reading material is about inventions and our listening material is about holacracy, a system where employees manage themselves. Please listen and create examples for the vocabulary words.
