Government calendar

Here is the updated calendar for the rest of the school year. I apologize for this changing so much. I didn't know high school did not have school on field day and the last day of school. 
 
I appreciate your understanding!

Week of April 15th

Here are some items to keep in mind for this week:
 
  • The 1 minute commercials are due Monday. Please send these to me before or have a plan to show them. My email is [email protected]
  • We will start taxing and spending unit next week
Have a great weekend!!

Week of April 8th

Hello all! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. This week, we will not have class on Monday due to early dismissal for the eclipse. The students will follow their updated calendar for their work. I will check to make sure study questions are being completed at home. 
The mayor's office has returned with a lunch date to try to fit our small class in for a visit. Mayor Jacobs is scheduled to visit on April 24th during lunch. I am planning on feeding the students and Mayor Jacobs' team. I am trying to decide if I need to cancel this. The students have responded rudely and apathetically, and I do not want to bring in a guest to be disrespected by them. Please have a conversation with your student concerning apathy in learning and their attitude toward guests and teachers.
The 1-minute commercial of your town is due April 15th. 
 
Thank you, and have a great start to your week!!

Week 1 of Last 9 weeks

Good day all!! I was so excited to teach Government. This is a subject I am passionate about and enjoy teaching about how to use your power in government. The students were amazing on Wednesday! We barely covered the 2nd amendment and had no time for anything else. Everyone was great with discussion and thinking through what they agreed with and did not. Thanks for sharing your amazing students with me!

Here is a look ahead:

  • Friday is time to work on the project of choice. Each student has a rubric and one is posted if you need another copy. 
  • Monday we will cover Lesson 45 and the Study Questions
  • Tuesday is a quiz. I will hand out the quiz on Monday. 
  • Projects are due Wednesday and we will cover lessons 46-47
  • Thursday complete study questions for lesson 46-47
  • Friday is no school and Monday is no school

Remember you can find all that is due on the course calendar.
