First Week - Done!

Weekly Update

Our first week is finished and we have organized our binders, taken our first geography quiz, and learned a little bit more about each other through the primary source documents students have turned in. This week we began getting into the groove of how classes will work each day as students have done their Geo Daily Preps of the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Remember, you can start keeping track of assignments students have been given using the assignment tracker, and over the weekend I plan to have three grades in Gradebook: Interest Inventories, Primary Documents, and Geo Quiz #1.

Upcoming next week - 

  • Begin reading Martin Luther King Jr's World House Essay
  • Field Trip on Tuesday to Westcott House in Springfield in Math class
  • Studying the concept of the Rule of Law
  • Beginning to define and understand what is meant by "politics" to have a working definition that will help us as we move through the course
Have a great weekend!
