Government

Yesterday each of the students received a grade report, on this report were any missing assignments for the government unit. If a student has any missing assignments they are due today by 2:50. Anything not turned in by then will become a zero.

When we return from break we will be starting our career unit.

Enjoy your holidays!

WOW!

Wow - That is all I can say - Wow!

I have a room full of projects and they look amazing! They are detailed, neatly done and so creative. Thank you for helping your child do such excellent work. I hope you had fun.

I will post pictures soon.

Finally Friday

Well, it's finally Friday! Today the students took an open note test on government and Washington DC.

Washington DC projects are due Monday. I've already had several projects come in and they look great! I will be posting pictures next week.

On Monday and Tuesday we will be watching a movie. This will be an opportunity for any students with missing work to complete it before the break.

Government

This week we have continued discussing the White House and Washington DC. Today we specifically talked about the three branches of government, who is in charge and each of their jobs. The students were given an assignment to write ten questions and create a word search with their answers. They were given time in class to work on this and it is due Monday.

Don't forget the Washington DC project is due Monday, Dec 21st. See here for more information.

Washington DC Project

Today we talked about the Washington DC project. Here are the details...

1. Research the monument you have chosen and find at least ten facts about it. These facts will be turned in with your project.

2. Create an authentic three dimensional replica of the monument. Grading will be based on authenticity, neatness, stability and overall creativity.

3. Attach your facts to your project and turn it in.

Projects are due Monday, December 21.

Here are a few examples of last years projects;

We will be going to the library next week for research and planning, but I wanted to get the instructions out since December can be a busy month for everyone.
