Week 4

Sorry I missed posting yesterday, but the changes in class times due to Explore/Plan/Work Keys testing made things difficult.  Anyway, periods 2 and 9 will not be seen today again.  We will see each other on Monday when all the US History classes will begin a new unit on the Independence Movement of the US.  Period 7 will finish their colony maps today.

The IB History of the Americas classes will hand in their projects today, write or finish the unit essay test they were given yesterday and also be given the reading assignment which they will be quizzed on on Monday.

It has been a busy week…  but I look forward to getting in the groove on Monday! Everyone have a safe and wonderful weekend!
