Week of 12/12/11

Seventh Grade: This week your students will be taking final exams in most of their classes. They took their test last week in Social Studies. I am currently grading those exams and you should see the grades in powerschool by Tuesday. This week we are continuing our study of China by completing a physical map in class on Monday and Tuesday. During their final period, the students will be participating in an activity in which we will be examining the traditional art forms of poetry and landscape painting. This is an in-class assignment and the students will not need to study for this assignment. There will be no homework over break.

Sixth Grade: This week the students will be completing their interview presentations of the Egyptian Social Classes. They will have a unit Exam on Egypt during the final period. The students have a study guide and they should be studying in the evening to prepare for that exam. Please encourage your students to come see me if they have questions and they may show me drafts of their short answer essay questions to prepare for the test. There will be no homework over break.
