What we did today!

All Classes:
We continued to work on our World War I packets and discuss events in World War I.

Students began turning in their progress reports today. These are due back signed by Friday.

Current events are due Friday.

World War I packets are due Friday.


Bonus was given out today for any student who wanted it. Bonus papers are due back by Monday.

World War I test will be Tuesday. Students will NOT receive a study guide for this test because it will be open book (packet). They will be allowed to use their World War I packets with this test. As long as they have kept up with their work and made corrections when we went over answers in class, they should be in good shape to do well on this test.
