Miss Kirby Tells All About Class

U.S. History=   You have a quiz on Chapter 17 & 18 in class on Tuesday, 5/20 (for odd periods) & Wednesday, 5/21 (for even periods).       How's your group project coming along??? Are you on task? Expect an announcement about the project in class this week.  AP Euro=  We'll be finishing the movie in class on Tuesday and introducing the individual project in class...it's something you can have fun with!  You will be signing up for your topics on Thursday, 5/22. Hey...U.S. History folks...did you see this??? It's kind of punny. :)

Saturday, May 17th is Armed Services Day and in honor of that the Newport Harbor Exchange Club will be hosting their 5th Annual "Field of Honor" display. 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. 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.”  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. To get the extra credit please have someone take a picture of you near the statue (as seen in the photo below) on the bluffs with all the flags around. You may have the photo taken showing any direction that includes flags . This must be done Friday, May 16...

Just a reminder...next Sunday, 5/11 is Mother's  Day! U.S. History=   You have a Study Guide due on Thursday, 5/8 (for odd periods) & Friday, 5/9 (for even periods) and you all know by now that if there is a Study Guide due you also have a test.      Don't forget to be communicating with your group & staying on task with the Film Project! AP Euro=   Remember that there is a Writing Workshop in our class at 6pm on Monday, 5/5 in our classroom. You may also want to consider using some of the links I have sent via School Loop emails to help review. This week in class you have your final practice exam; on Tuesday, 5/6 you will take the 80 question multiple choice portion & write your 1st FRQ essay. On Thursday, 5/8 you will be writing the DBQ & your 2nd FRQ essay.  Please be sure to get good rest & eat breakfast before class!
