This week in US History, we will be exploring causes and effects of the French and Indian War (including a reading of Benjamin Franklin's Plan of Union). There will also be a unit 2 (chapters 3 and 4) test of Friday. Start looking over those vocabulary words.
In Ancient History, as per the test calendar, there is a test tomorrow. Students will also receive their essays back tomorrow, which they will be able to rewrite and turn back in for more credit. We will begin studying daily life in Ancient Mesopotamia.
We have implemented a new test calendar on the website. It is on the left-hand navigation bar, under the school calendar. Here is the direct link.
Finally, a word on absences. I have noticed many absences lately. Whether this is due to illness, vacation, or something else, students are still responsible to make up the content missed. This means copying any notes taken that day and turning in assignments missed. If making up the content requires resources (books, maps, etc.) I have in my classroom, that student would of course be welcome to come use those resources during tutoring. Note that unexcused absences (vacation, prolonged illness with no doctor's note, etc.) may not be eligible to retake any quizzes or turn in minor assignments.
Yours in presence,
Miss Fischer
