THIS WEEK IN SOCIAL STUDIES

12/16-12/20

This week is marked by some important events:

1. Start of Unit 4: Imperial China on Monday!

2. Trimester 1 Awards Ceremony on Thursday from 3-4 PM, parents welcome!

As the last week of school for this year (meaning 2013) winds down, I want to celebrate all the hard work that students put in during the first few months of school.  We have complete three full units, a mini-unit on religion, taken two IAs, and two maps from memory!  This week we will just begin to explore Imperial China and all the mysteries surrounding it.  The Map from Memory: ASIA will be a few weeks after our return from Winter Break.  The materials to study for the Asia test are already up on the website.  Visit the Map from Memory: ASIA tab, or click here, to play the challenge.  Flashcards for this unit are also already up on the website under the vocabulary tab, or you can click here to get there.  Let's wrap up the final week of the year as strong as we have been throughout the entire year:)

The homework for this week will include leveled reading 12.17.

12/2-12/6

The week back from break came and went so quickly!

I did not get a chance to update the website during this week, but it was an important one.  The week back from Thanksgiving Break marked the first week in our new trimester.  For some students, trimester 2 is off to a great start!  If you check IC you will see that 4 grades were entered in the first week.  If your homework or class work was incomplete during the week, you can see the dramatic impact that has on your grade.  Please make sure work is getting done on time.

The homework/classwork due this week were class notes from 12.3 and the IA #2 Reflection and parent signature.
