This week students will be District Testing! You are going to do GREAT!!!
Homework will be to complete the textbook (ch. 9) test & quick writes.
Students will have a staggered schedule, in order to accommodate for testing, so some classes will vary in length. Students will be reviewing chapter 9 key terms, main ideas and will prepare for a chapter test by the end of the week.
History Day Projects are due THIS Friday, January 16, 2009. Students have been given information for this project since late October 2008. Each student has TWO packets that include the guidelines, rules, regulations and EVERYTHING they (and you) will need to ensure success! We even had POSTER BOARDS, colored paper, glue sticks and other supplies available for students (For FREE). PLEASE do not allow students to make excuses!!!
If you need any help or have questions, email me directly at: simnri@fusd.net.
