Wednesday November 14

We will finish the Pearl Harbor Video and discuss it. I hope this documentary made you think about the veterans, and the sacrifice that it takes for us to have the freedoms we have.

After that we will be taking notes on Chapter 3. You should have a copy of them already. Tomorrow make sure you are done with the Section 1 and 2 reviews.

Monday November 12

Yesterday was Veterans Day. A day to honor all veterans who have served are country both in peace and in wartime. So with that theme we will be talking about Veterans Day today, and over the next 2 days we will watch a video on Pearl Harbor. Usually we wait until December 7th, the anniversary of Pearl Harbor to show it but we are ahead of past years and it fits in well with veterans day.

Tuesday November 6

Test today on States tomorrow on Capitals.

Remember Parent-Teacher conferences on Thursday. I will not be here in the afternoon or evening.

Monday November 5

Remember Parent-Teacher Conferences are tonight and Thursday all day. You don't have school on Thursday and Friday so it is a quick week for you.

Today we will be correcting the review of Section 1 and 2 that you were assigned last Thursday. We will then be playing a game using the U.S. Constitution.

There will be a test on the States tomorrow. We will be using the computer to do it. All I will tell you is make sure you study tonight. There will also be a test on the capitals on Wednesday.

Friday November 2

We will be going to the Media Center today to practice the states and capitals. Make sure you have my blog web address written down somewhere so you can practice over the next week at home so you'll know the states and capitals.

When you are in the Media Center you are only going to be on my website and the links to the games. If you are on anything else you will be logged off of the computers and you will be forced to sit and study off of the map you did the past two days.

Hope you all had fun last night. But not to much fun.

You will get grade sheets showing any missing work, and with your final grade for first quarter. No there is no extra credit you can do to get your grade up.

We will watch the Grand Tetons and Arches video's. And take some notes on Chapter 4 section 2. You will then get a review assignment for sections 1 and 2.
