Nov 26-30, 2012

I hope you’ve had a wonderful Thanksgiving break!  Here’s a look at the week ahead:

Bible:  On Monday and Tuesday we will discuss the most recent lessons and their application.  On Wednesday and Thursday we will take the Unit 2 Bible Test.

Spanish I and Spanish II:  Spanish II will follow the regular calendar.  Because some interruptions have caused us to miss class time in Spanish I, I will pass out a replacement calendar to get us through to Christmas Break.  Don’t lose your original calendar; we’ll be back on track by January.

AP World History:  We will quiz over chapter 18 and then test over chapters 16-18 this week.  The remainder of the weeks between now and Christmas break will be spent reviewing and working on your writing skills.

Arts and Humanities:  We continue our study of classic movies.  This week I’ll introduce the movie star project that will constitute 50% of your quarter grade.

World History:  Don’t forget your homework this week and the opportunity for a test pass!  We should finish our study of the Renaissance this week and be ready to test late in the week.

November 12-16, 2012

Only one full week before Thanksgiving break!  I can taste the turkey and dressing now...but first, here's a look at the week ahead:

Bible:   Lessons are due this week and we'll have a verse quiz on Wednesday.

Spanish I and II:  we resume daily quizzes, so make sure you have your vocab list to study.  Because of the recent interruptions there will be some adjustments to the calendar - we'll discuss those in class.

World History:  Test Tuesday.  Don't forget to do your homework!

AP World History:  Quizzes on Tuesday and Friday.  Map work will be key this week.

Arts and Humanities:  We will begin "You Can't Take It With You" - a Pulitzer prize-winning play converted to an Academy Award-winning movie.  I think you'll like it.
