Lesson 3 Notes, Failing Students Email, Test Next Week

Today the students finished up their notes on Mexico. The Lesson 3 notes are attached below. Notes from Lessons 1 and 2 can be found in my previous post. We are looking at having a test early next week, likely on Tuesday.

I will be sending an email to the parents/guardians of any student that is failing the course as of the end of this week. The emails will go out either today (Friday) or tomorrow. Please make sure your email address in the school system is correct.

Wrapping up Chapter 6, Test on Friday

We continued work on the notes from Chapter 6 over Mexico today and should finish tomorrow. We are looking at a test on Friday of this week. This will be the first summative grade of the second nine weeks grading period. I have attached ALL of the notes from the chapter below.

Chapter 6 - Mexico Vocabulary Assigned

The students began work on Chapter 6 - Mexico today. As with every chapter, we started with a vocabulary assignment. The assignment is due tomorrow (10/11) at the beginning of the period. Full instructions and the terms are below.

Students wishing to get a head start on the material should read Chapter 6 - Lesson 1 in their textbook.

Chapter 4 Test Tomorrow

The students will take their test over Chapter 4 (United States) tomorrow. This will not be an open book/notes test so please make sure your student studies their notes, vocabulary, and looks over the self-check quizzes available on the online textbook.

Notes Over the U.S., Grade Check Coming Up

Today we continued our discussion and notes over the United States. The notes today focused on the Louisiana Purchase, the annexation of Texas and the American Southwest, and the idea of Manifest Destiny. These notes are available in full on a post from last week. Just scroll down until you see them.

There is a UIL grade check coming up this Friday and we are rapidly approaching the end of the first grading period (it seems impossible but it is true). Please check with your student and make sure they have turned in all of their work. You may check your student's grades in all of their classes by visiting the EHMS home page.
