This week will bring the focus of work into the forefront of the hearts and minds of our emerging scholars in the realm of Social Studies. I certainly hope that we, as stakeholders, can do what we can to help them help themselves (I am preparing for the unit on the 1930s.)

7th Grade
Monday- Homework assessment on Chapter 9. It's five percent of students' overall grade. It's open note and open homework. The hope is that both have been done and can be used.
Tuesday- Friday- Students will be working on their wikis during class and at home. If students cannot work on their wiki at home, then the best bet for them would be to spend some time in the Media Center or my room during lunch. All wiki pages have to be done by the end of Friday's class. The wiki page is nine percent of their overall grade.

8th Grade
ALL TOMMY GUNS WORK IS DUE TUESDAY!
ALL TOMMY GUNS PERMISSION SLIPS AND MONEY ARE DUE TUESDAY!
This week will mark the end of the 20s and the intellectual party that goes with it. In its place, will be depression... The Great Depression.
Of course, such sadness starts with the "crash" coming in the form of a two day, short answer assessment on the 1920s, valued at about 600 points, starting on Tuesday and going into Wednesday. Students can come in during lunch on Wednesday if they need more time. Students will then start on composing their assessments on the 1930s with the composition of a Bag of Poverty. This assessment is due Wednesday, March 23. The assessment will be explained on Thursday, but can be found on the "Handouts" link online on the blog.

If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
All best.
