Hello everyone:
I hope you all had a nice (long, for the students) weekend, and that any conferences you attended last week were productive. If you were unable to attend conferences and would like to meet with me or any other teacher, please contact us to schedule a time to meet.
Half-Day Schedule: Wednesday, March 28, is a half-day (AM schedule) for students, due to teacher professional development. Students will be released from class at 11:45 that morning. Please arrange to pick up your child no later than 12:00 PM. Thank you for your help in this matter.
Semana Santa: The school will be on vacation after dismissal at 3:00 this Friday, March 30. Students should return to school by 8:00 AM on Wednesday, April 11. HAVE A FUN AND SAFE SEMANA SANTA! If your student will be gone at any time the week before (this week) or after Semana Santa, please let their area administrator and teachers know ASAP so we can give them make-up work! Thank you! :)
Here are the plans for the final week of March!
6th grade: Nice job on your Mini-Quiz last week! :) This week you will begin learning about another revolution, but this one has to do with technology, not fighting. It's the Industrial Revolution! On Monday will watch a short introductory video which you will discuss during class on Tuesday. There is no class on Wednesday due to teacher professional development time. Thursday and Friday you will work with the textbooks and some primary sources to understand the effects of the Industrial Revolution on people during the mid to late 1800s in Europe. You will have in-class assignments on Monday and Thursday.

7th grade: You will continue learning about Africa this week. On Monday you will read and complete questions about North Africa. On Tuesday you will be in the computer lab researching for your country project or practicing for your North and West Africa map quiz. Wednesday is a presentation day for four of you. Thursday you will have another textbook assignment about West Africa. Friday is another presentation day.

8th grade: I hope you are enjoying learning about the Renaissance, because you've got another few weeks of it before we move on. :) This week you will begin looking more at the groups Humanists, Inventors and Patrons of the Arts. Monday and Tuesday you will use primary and secondary sources to better understand the ideas and ideals of Humanist thinkers. There is no class on Wednesday due to teacher professional development time. Thursday and Friday you will spend time in the computer lab researching the innovations and arts of the Renaissance. You will have three assignments this week; Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

9th grade: You have just one week more of the Inter-War years (you'll start World War II after Semana Santa). This week you will look at the rise of Fascism, one of the main causes of World War II. Monday and Tuesday you will research the beginnings of Fascism in four areas of the world and will have an assignment along with this research. Wednesday you will have a fun in-class simulation and will be assigned a 1-paragraph response. Thursday and Friday you will look at the actions of a Fascist leader and compare and contrast them with the Nationalists actions of Gandhi in India in a Nationalism DBQ. You will have an Inter-War take-home quiz given at the beginning of class on Friday. You may complete it during class on Friday or take it home to be completed at some point during Semana Santa. It will be due Wednesday, April 11!
