Welcome back! As you should have seen in a School Loop e-mail I, once again, had some computer issues over the break. I will be working on updating the grades throughout the week.

US= We are now onto a new unit covering The Civil Rights Movement. This will be a rather quick unit...the end of the 3rd quarter is next Friday, 4/23. That means a couple of things...we will be done with this unit and we have a District Benchmark Test to take. Your homework is to complete the Study Guide that is given out in class and turn it in on the day of your test (Thursday, 4/22 for odd periods and Friday, 4/23 for even periods).

IR/PacRim= You got a new map of Asia in class today...that is due on Wednesday, 4/14 and the Map Test will be on Thursday, 4/22. We will be gearing up to start a new unit this week. Thanks for the good discussion on global news items this morning!
