Don't forget to bring your spare change to your 4th period class this week for the "Race for Relief"! 100% of what is raised will be going to Child Hope International (see further down on the page for a link to a story on CNN involving this organization). Every little bit of money that you are able to give will be going to help the people of Haiti who have been devastated by the earthquakes.

US= You have a Chapter 9 Quiz this week (1/26 for odd periods & 1/27 for even periods). Be sure that you are prepared for it; that means you should actually read the entire chapter! Remember that you also have the Summative Study Guide Questions due later this week (1/28 for odd periods & 1/29 for even periods). We will be spending time in class this week finishing up the 1930s and preparing for our final which covers Chapters 1-9.

IR/PacRim= Your Partner Project is due on Tuesday, 1/26. Be sure that is completed & turned in on time! We will be wrapping up our unit on Disease this week as well as taking some time to prepare for our final that will be on Monday, February 1st. Be sure to take advantage of the study guide that was passed out in class last Friday!

Just so you know...these are some of the faces the money you raise in the "Race for Relief" will be helping in Haiti. Their organization was highlighted in an article on CNN. To learn more about Child Hope International check out their website: http://www.childhope.org/, you will also find a specific link at the top of their homepage with regular updates after the earthquake.

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 ...
