Back from break & something about new keys!?!

-



Hi folks! I hope you all enjoyed the break. Well I know that some of you are concerned because grades have not been updated. This week I will be making a lot of progress to get EVERYONE'S grades updated, since Friday is the end of the quarter. Unfortunately Beek Hall was re-keyed last week while we were on break & I did not have access to my classroom to update grades, grade projects that were left in the classroom, and generally get things in order as I had planned to. I did get my new key this morning. Please be patient as I get caught up. :) Here is what you need to know for this week:

***All Magellan students with a D or F in any class is required to be at lunchtime study sessions in my room (Beek 261) on Tuesdays & Thursdays.

IR= we have started a new unit on War & Conflict, we will do our new grade check NEXT week (so they can have your quarter grades on them)plan on getting your book reviews back the end of next week.

WH= your chapter 13 vocabulary is due on Wednesday & Thursday depending on which class you are in, please start on your final current event project (3 articles with write-ups for April & 3 for May), your new alternative assignment is Comprehension & Critical Thinking questions on pages 425 (#3-5), 433 (#3-6), 438(#3-6), 447 (#3-7), & 435 (#3-8) (you must attempt to answer all questions to receive any credit for this assignment & it is due at the start of the period on your test day or before the test day)

US= 50s test this week, your 50s homework packet is due on Wednesday & Thursday depending on which class you are in, alternative assignments are also due on you test day (see the post on March 28th for page numbers), past work & your group scripts will be trickling back to you later this week and early next week.

Hello 2009!  I hope that you all enjoyed the break! Well here we are just a few weeks away from the end of the semester...be sure to stay on top of your work before finals!   US= Your extra credit assignment is due Wednesday, 1/7 (for odd periods) & Thursday, 1/8 (for even periods)...the assignment is posted on School Loop. Be sure to bring your "Graphing Indicators of the Great Depression" worksheet back to class, as we continue to learn about the 1930s and the Great Depression we will be using that sheet to answer some questions. We will not have a test on Chapters 8 & 9 before the final, but there will be a quiz on each of the  chapters. You should be ready for a quiz on Chapter 8 as early as the end of this week! Your homework is to do Cornell Notes for both chapters 8 & 9 and to complete workbook pages 68, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, & 80...this is due Thursday, 1/22 (for odd periods) and Friday, 1/23 (for even periods).

Isn't that quote so fitting for our weather right now? Well one more week before our Spring Break and here is what we have going on: US= We are working on Chapter 14 dealing with the Civil Rights Movement. Don't forget that you have workbook pages 117, 119, & 121 due this week (Thursday for 6th period & Friday for 1st, 3rd, & 5th periods). Also on that day you will take a Quest (longer than a quiz, but shorter than a test) on chapter 14 & the Civil Rights Movement. In terms of your project...I have made a concession, you may turn it in on the original due date given & receive 10 extra credit points (these points will go toward you project & are therefore worth more than "normal" extra credit points due to how the grades are weighted) or you may turn it in on Monday, April 14th before the end of lunch to receive full credit. Projects must be turned in to Miss Kirby... no leaving them in the classroom or the mailbox in portable #3. Projects ...
