Miss Kirby Tells All About Class

Your focus this week should be on finishing your project that makes up 20% of your semester grade! The group Film Project is due on Monday, June 4th...no exceptions! The Film Festival will take place on Tuesday, June 12th in Beek Hall from 6-8pm (more details to follow).

I hope you're all going after your best scores possible on the STAR/CST tests! I won't see most of you until the end of the week, when we are back on a "normal" schedule for Thursday & Friday. We will pick up with finishing the 70s then it's on to the 80s! Don't forget to be working on your film project...the final due date (June 4th) is coming up quick!

       The Exchange Club of Newport Harbor will line the scenic trail at Castaways Park with 1,776 American flags this coming weekend in honor of military veterans. They are calling it the “Field of Honor,” and it is one of 16 similar efforts that will be sponsored by Exchange Clubs nationwide this year. This is the second year they have set up this display. As members of the Exchange Club have said, “It’s not pro-war, or anti-war, it’s strictly to honor our service men and women.”          Being that our U.S. History classes have just finished learning about the Vietnam War, I thought that this would be something great for you to see and experience. And we are coming up on Memorial Day which is a National Holiday honoring those who have fallen in the line of duty. I am offering 10 points of extra credit for you to go out and see this awesome display at the park located at Dover Drive and Castaways Lane.   ...

U.S. History= We've got a lot going on in class this week so be sure to check in if you miss class due to AP Testing! We are continuing with the 1970s. No homework right now except for your group project. Be sure to be in good communication with your group...the project deadline is coming up quick! Check back at the end of the week for a little extra credit opportunity!

U.S. History= Your Vietnam & Counterculture Era Study Guide is due this week (Wednesday, 5/9 for odd periods and Thursday, 5/10 for even periods). We will be taking our test that same day...so be prepared (use Chapter 16 sections 1-4 & Chapter 17 section 1 as a point of  reference in your review). P.S. If you are taking an AP and will be missing class, please take the time to do the right thing and talk to your teacher so you can get/make-up what you have missed. Thank you!
