September 19, 2013

Social Studies homework tonight is to complete two worksheets as a review of chapter one.
Complete the ten question study guide for Section Two in chapter one.  Textbook pages 15-19.
This is due on Tuesday, 9/24/13.  Test on 9/26/13.

Students will begin working out of their composition books in Science on Monday.  This is a response journal and will be graded.  Please be sure they have a composition book.  Writing throughout the curriculum  supports reading comprehension and vocabulary development.

Beginning Friday, September 27th, and every other Friday after that, we will begin Current Events Friday.  This will be offered as extra credit for either Science or Social Studies depending on the subject reported on. Students are limited to Science and Social Studies (History).  It may be local, state, national, or international news.  The article and report must come from a credible source (Newspaper, Internet, not the National Inquirer).  Reporting out to the class will be optional.  More points will be given for doing so.  I have chosen to make this mandatory for some students based on their needs.
