Feb 10-14 Language Arts/Social Studies Schedule Adjustment

SS--We will be a bit behind the schedule posted in my lesson plans. Our wonderful field trip performance of Harriet Tubman lasted a bit longer than expected, so our social studies class only completed half of Monday's assignments. We will do the second part of Monday's assignment on 8.55 the Gold Rush on Tuesday (and try to get into Tuesday's work on 8-56). The material will be the same. It may be necessary for students to complete work at home to get us caught up.

LA--We will have shorter classes on Tuesday due to the Academy's visit Tuesday morning. We will be starting Act 1, scene 4 in class, but students will need to complete the reading of scene 4 on Tuesday/Wednesday at home AND complete the answers in their study guide/packet for Thursday. (Library Wed)

Schedule changes - Jan 8

First and Second period should complete questions for "The Lunch Date" by Friday!
Second period will watch on Thursday not Wed, and
both classes will finish our Jigsaw activity for BW on Thursday.

6th period social studies!! Urgent!

Please bring your government foldable project to class or take a photo of your grade and send it via email. My recorded grades did not save!! If I do not see your project grade it will become a zero or you'll have to remake it!!
