Last Week of Quarter 3! Week of March 12-15

Hi everyone:

I hope you all had a nice weekend, and are ready for the quizzi-ness coming up this week in room #4!

Reminder: I will not be at school on Monday or Tuesday. Please be good for Ms. Pia!

I had an excellent experience presenting and attending the Conference last Friday, and hope I will be able to bring back some new ideas and fun to class during Quarter 4!

Reminder: There is no school on Friday, March 16, due to the end of the quarter. First come, first served Parent-Teacher conferences for some students will be held on the afternoon of Friday, March 23. If you do not receive a letter from me requesting a conference but would like to schedule one anyway, you are welcome to send me an e-mail or come in the afternoon of the 23rd.

Here is this week's schedule:
6th grade: Monday you will finish your reading about the Latin American Revolutions. Tuesday you will have assignments defining a revolution and seeing the US Revolution through the eyes of someone who was there. Wednesday we will review, and Thursday, March 15, you will have your Revolutions Quiz!
--

7th grade: Monday and Tuesday you will have assignments out of the book about Indonesia. If you finish early, you will want to spend your class time studying for your East and Southeast Asia quiz, which will be Thursday, March 15. This means looking at the maps and being able to identify the 16 countries of the region, as well as having your entire graphic organizer filled out, with the exception of Laos, which you will fill out during class on Wednesday as the first part of your quiz review. DO NOT waste your class time!

8th grade: Hopefully your DBQ is close to being finished now...you will need to hand it in Tuesday. (Any students with DBQs not handed in when I return to school on Wednesday will spend their lunch time that day with me!) Monday and Tuesday in class you will be completing your Middle Ages study guides, so be sure you bring all your previous work and notes with you to class! Your Middle Ages quiz will be a 2-day event, on both Wednesday and Thursday. I encourage you to have your study guide completed before that time!

9th grade: On Monday and Tuesday you will find out what happened at the end of World War I. You will read about it in the Human Legacy textbook and study and compare two important documents from that time, US President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points speech and excerpts (parts) from the Treaty of Versailles, the agreement that ended the war. You also need to have an answer written down for the following question when I return on Wednesday:

What will happen in the world now that World War I is over? (at least 3 sentences)

If/when you finish this assignment, there is an optional study guide that you may complete to help you prepare for your World War I and Russian Revolution Quiz, which you will review for on Wednesday and take on Thursday, March 15.

It's a short week, but an important one!

Sprint to the finish!
