I hope you all had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving weekend, full of family, friends, food, and fun (or at least just were able to relax and get ready for the 3-week sprint to the finish of Semester 1!)
My Thanksgiving was great, starting with the 9th grade Thanksgiving meal on Wednesday, and then my quick trip to the Copán Ruinas with my parents and Chris!
Just a reminder, this Wednesday, November 30, is a half day due to a teacher work day. We will be running a PM schedule (classes 4-7) and will be dismissing the students at 11:45 that day. Please be prompt in picking your student up from school.
We have just three short weeks until the end of the Semester, so be ready to work hard and do your best!
6th grade: You will finish working on your Inca packet this week! You will do page 5 on Monday, pg 6 on Tuesday, and pages 7-8 on Wednesday-Thursday. The packet and any "Extra Extra" work will be due on Friday. The Inca Mini-Quiz will also be on Friday, December 2! (and hooray, no more packets!)

7th grade: Hopefully you used your time in the lab well last week, because it is presentation week!! Monday and Thursday you will work in the textbooks, and Tuesday and Friday you will give your presentations to the class. Your Russia and the Republics quiz will be on Friday, December 9, and your "Half-of-the-World" map quiz will be Wednesday, December 14! There will be no class on Wednesday, November 30 due to the teacher work day.

8th grade: This is going to be a very busy week for you, so be ready! on Monday and Tuesday you will look at the geography of Ancient Rome's arch rival, Carthage! On Wednesday and Thursday you will will at the military organization and changes in government in Ancient Rome, and on Friday you will start on a two-day activity about Mark Antony (the Roman, not the singer).
--
9th grade: This is your last week of direct instruction before your first round of 9th grade Semester Exams! You will use some primary resources to learn about the Industrial Revolution in England and the United States on Monday and Tuesday, will not have class on Wednesday due to the teacher work day, will review on Thursday, and will have your Enlightenment and Revolutions Quiz on Friday, December 2!

So hopefully you can all find something to look forward to this week...I know I have!
Sprint to the finish!
