Miss Kirby Tells All About Class

...is to have the real spirit of Christmas.” -Calvin Coolidge US= You were given your 2nd Quarter project assignment to get started on over the break if you choose. You can find the assignment sheet on my School Loop page here . Don't forget that you are supposed to use an EMPTY 14-20 ounce can. Sociology= Do some naturalistic observation over the break! Was there any stratification in terms of gift giving around your home this season? :) See you in 2011!

...How did it get so late so soon?" -Dr. Seuss US= You have your Jazz Age Journal due (either today for odd periods or tomorrow for even)! Be sure to read through Chapter 7 before class on Wednesday & Thursday (hint, hint)! You will be getting your 3rd quarter project assignment this week before the break so you will have PLENTY of time to do a good job with it! Sociology= We will be reviewing our past two quizzes on Tuesday & then continuing on with our material about Social Inequalities this week.

Don't forget that all Adopt-A-Family contributions are due this week in your 3rd period classes! Oops! Grades did not get updated over the weekend. You WILL see updates this week though! Some of you have really been slacking off and not staying in touch when you miss class or failing to make up work that you missed due to absence. Please be advised that you will receive zeros for work that is not made up due to excused absences! US= You have a Study Guide due on Thursday, 12/9 (odd periods) & Friday, 12/10 (even periods)...this is a date change. You were given more time! Be sure to do a thorough job with the study guide so you can be well prepared for the Formative Test. Don't forget to actually go through the chapters in the textbook too! Sociology= We are still working through our unit on Social Inequality. Expect a quiz on Friday, 12/10 covering Inequalities in the U.S., Maintenance of the Social Stratification System, & Social Classes in the U.S..
