Progress Reports

Today in class I gave the students a print out of their grades, most students are doing very well.  If a student is not doing well it may be because they are missing an assignment or two.  Here are the assignments we have handed in so far... (next week the White House quiz and projects will be added on)

Economics Quiz - 33 points
Washington DC article and made up questions - 10 points
Syllabus with parent signature - 5 points
200 years at the White House, questions and word find - 17 points
The White House article and crossword - 17 points
The White House packet (pink) - 91 points

Tomorrow we are starting our US History unit.  This unit covers the years 1900-2000 in an extremely short period of time...we do about a decade a week.  At the end of the unit the students will be responsible for doing research and teaching the class about a specific decade.
