Parents and students - Projects due soon

Parents and students,
Please be aware that March 2 is the project due date. All parts must be turned in on this date. Please examine and print the packet from the previous post if you have not yet recieved one. Simply click on any image you would like to see. You can easily print the 5 pages by copying the images into Microsoft Word, adjusting them to fit your page and printing as a normal word document. I have not recieved thesis statements/ten questions and tear off letters from several students. These are required please make sure your child has turned them in.

I am also missing 5 paragraph essays arguing for or against Manifest Destiny from some 8th graders. This assignment took place in class and was to be finished at home. See instructions in earlier post.

Progress reports should have been signed and returned to all subject teachers. Many students have room to improve in all their subjects before the end of the marking period. Please encourage your child to take advantage of the time they still have to make up work in their classes, improve test scores and complete research projects in science and history.

Below are current textbook assignments that must be completed in homework notebooks. Please check to see that your child can explain the importance of each term and is answering questions using RAFT. Thank You. Your participation is much needed and deeply appreciated.
