This Week in Social Studies

We welcome our parents to the blog today. This week we wave a number of important activities going on. Today was Re-Take Day. Anyone who made a poor grade on the tests last week re-tested today. That is always my policy. However, on the re-test, the highest you can make is an 80.

We are working on our Roman Trade Maps this week; finishing our Roman symbols; and collecting pictures and words for our Barbarian collages. By Thursday, we will be leaving Ancient Rome and headed for Ancient Islam.

Parents, please be apprised of the fact that your student needed two bound composition books for my class, as well as a three brad folder. We are in the fifth week of school, and some students still don't have this items. Thank you in advance for helping them have what they need to be successful in Social Studies.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at mortonvm@scsk12.org.

Can't wait to see you at open house, parents!
