Four Weeks Left?! Week of May 16-20

Hello everybody!

Here's what's happening in class this week!

6th grade: I know this is going to be a busy and stressful week for you with your National Anthem test coming up on Thursday, so this will not be the most tasking week ever, but we still have things we need to accomplish. SO, this week we are going to continue focusing westward, but we are going to shift our sights southward, to Texas. We will "Remember the Alamo" this week by doing some groupwork with primary source accounts of the seige of the Alamo, as well as looking at both the US and Mexican versions of the Mexican-American war. You will not have class on Thursday due to your National Anthem Test.

Your last Social Studies quiz of 6th grade will be next Thursday, May 26!

7th grade: Well, you're on the home stretch!! This week we will look at our final area where European Imperialism was heavily apparent, Africa. We will spend the week looking at both primary sources a movie that show different elements of African imperialism. 7B will only have class Monday-Tuesday and Thursday-Friday due to MAP testing.

Your last Social Studies quiz of 7th grade will be next Thursday, June 2!

8th grade: We will finish this week with a look at Calvinism, the English Reformation, and finally, the Catholic Reformation, all elements which were touched on in last Friday's movie...you will have your Reformation quiz this Friday, May 20!

Just FYI, next week we will begin reviewing for the final exams!

Seniors: You're almost there!! I know you have a big week ahead of you, but you can DO IT!!! You will not have class Thursday due to your National Anthem Test, and Friday your final version of the Multi-Genre project is due!!!

It has been a pleasure to work with you this year, and I wish you tons of good luck in the future!
