HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

US= New homework packet assignments are being given out this week. They are due 12/18 & 12/19. No Tribal Cube Projects will be accepted after the break (they were due 11/21)! If you have not yet done your powerpoint...do it now, it will be due in December or you already missed you deadline, but should still e-mail it to me at kkirby@nmusd.us! 

PacRim/IR= Your "Design an Awareness Campaign" Project with a partner is due Wednesday, 12/3. Your next Map Test on Southern Africa is on Friday, 12/5. Expect to have a lot of papers passed back the Monday you return from break!

Just for fun...yup, you do recognize those two guys doing tai-chi in the park with the old ladies...they were freshmen at the time, but are current juniors you have probably seen in my class room!

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 ...
