THIS MONTH IN SOCIAL STUDIES

February 

After over a month of not updating the website, I am back!  I apologize for the delay and want to make sure in Trimester 3 you are able to use this site as a resource.

Students have finished up Trimester 2 and are a couple weeks into Trimester 3.  This is it!  We want to end our 7th grade year strong and work hard all the way until the finish line.  While TCAP for Reading, Writing, and Math is taking place as we speak, our State Summative for Social Studies will not happen until the middle of April!  We have a lot to do before that though, so let's get to work.



The homework added to the grade book so far in Trimester 3 was the IA 3 Personal Reflection and the HDTV Supply and Demand Packet.

Happy New Year!  

The first week of the year has been a great one so far.  I am very impressed with how hard all of the students are working.  I want to give a special shout out to class section 201 for going CP Free multiple days in a row!  I appreciate how you take responsibility for your learning and make sure everyone is doing what they should.  Class section 204 also needs a shout out for winning our 8-week whole class challenge and earning a pizza party on Friday!  Yummy.

We have 6 weeks left in the trimester and every day counts.  Please bring your A game daily:)
