The end of Trimester 1 is this Friday. The mini-reports that were due this past Friday will be the last assessment used for this report card. There are many students who did not meet the deadline.......please check with your son/daughter. I will probably have grades for the report posted by early next week.
This week we will focus on immigration, but from the problems immigrants faced in the U.S., their contributions to society, and a look at the port of entry (Ellis Island) for many. Below are the online links I am using Monday-Wednesday (students have the worksheets and it is also posted on Edmodo). On Thursday and Friday, we will watch the movie "God Grew Tired of Us", which is a documentary on the Lost Boys of the Sudan.
Homework this week: completed the worksheets that go with our online resources by end of class Wednesday.
