Hello again, everyone...
As always, I hope your weekend was happy and restful...mine was very busy, as I am getting ready for the end of the semester! (By the way, in case you were wondering...it's next THURSDAY!!!)
With that in mind, please be sure you are checking engrade and the blog to keep track of the assignments your students have, and how well they do on them. A low Semester 1 score will be a factor at the end of the year, so let's help everyone sprint to the finish and end with the highest scores possible!
In order to gain those high scores we must do some work. Here's what's going on in room #4 this week:
6th grade: I have paired you up this week for a team project on the Native American tribes of North America. You will work on this project in the computer lab on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday this week. On Tuesday we will have another assignment in class, and on Thursday you will want to bring your project supplies to work on your project in the classroom.

7th grade: This is the last week you will be working on Russia and the Republics. You will have a Human-Environment Interaction study in class on Monday-Wednesday, and Thursday will be a review day. Your Russia and the Republics Quiz will be Friday, December 9.
--
8th grade: Monday-Wednesday you will examine the character and actions of various important Ancient Romans by participating in a play and trial about "Who killed Mark Antony?" (the Roman, not the singer). On Thursday you will examine the accomplishments of the Romans, and Friday you will learn about the "Fall" of Rome. For your reference, your Ancient Rome Quiz will be Tuesday, December 12. (If you are planning to be gone the last week of the quarter you need to make arrangements to take your quiz before you go or you will have an incomplete semester grade.)
--
9th grade: It's review week! You made it! On Monday and Tuesday, as promised, I will give you time to work on your Songfest play. On Wednesday we will play a "connections" game, and on Thursday and Friday you will have class time to work on your study guide. Your final exam will be from 8:00-10:00 on Tuesday, December 12.

Keep working hard students! You CAN do it!!
Have a great week!
