Cattle and Cotton Mini-Project Assigned

The students began work on a small project over the Cattle and Cotton chapter. Full instructions are below. I would also add that NO MAGIC MARKERS should be used since they bleed through paper and make a mess and that the assignment is due on Friday 4/29.

Take Home Test Turned in Today, New Vocabulary Assignment Due Tomorrow

The first item of business today was to have the students turn in their take home tests. The students were given time in class last Friday to work on these tests and allowed to take them home this past weekend if they needed more time to complete them. The test was open book/study guide so I am hopeful the grades on this exam will be good.

We will be starting a mini-project tomorrow over the Cattle and Cotton chapter. First, however, the vocabulary or the chapter was assigned. This vocabulary is due tomorrow at the beginning of class. I have attached the assignment below.

*IMPORTANT* - Take Home Test Due On Monday

The students started working on the chapter test over Reconstruction today in class. This is an open book/notes/resources test. This being the case, I sent the test home with the students. This test is a very important summative grade that could drastically affect their averages in my class. Please make sure that not only your student completes the test to the best of their abilities but also remembers to bring it back and turn it in on Monday. I have attached a copy of the test below just in case any student forgets to bring it home or loses their copy.

Halfway There and Quiz 2 Due Tomorrow

We are now about halfway through this fourth, and final, grading period. As they saying goes, it will get late early from this point on. I have many students who are behind in their assignments or who have failed to make up poor grades. Please check your student's grades online and question them on anything that is missing or below passing. For some, the difference between promotion to the next grade or retention/summer school will come down to the grade this nine weeks.

The quiz/worksheet for Lesson 2 over the chapter covering Reconstruction is due tomorrow at the beginning of the period. I have attached a copy of this assignment below.

Chapter 17 Vocabulary and Lesson 1 Quiz Assignments Due Tomorrow

We started the chapter over Reconstruction yesterday. The vocabulary assignment for this chapter, along with the Lesson 1 quiz/worksheet are due tomorrow at the beginning of the class period. Please make sure your student has completed these assignments and has them ready to turn in to me (if they have not already done so).

I have attached both the vocabulary assignment and quiz 1 below.

Test Over The Civil War Tomorrow!

Tomorrow, the students will be taking their chapter test over the Civil War. This is a major summative grade and will greatly affect their averages. Please make sure your student prepares properly for this test.

I will be out tomorrow so a substitute will be administering the test. Please discuss proper behavior with a substitute with your student.

Below is a "study guide" that I think will be VERY helpful to the students for their test tomorrow. If your student can answer these questions successfully, they will do very well on tomorrow's exam.

Chapter 16, Lesson 2 Quiz/Worksheet Turned in Today, Lesson 3 Due Tomorrow

The students turned in the quiz/worksheet over Chapter 16, Lesson 2 at the beginning of the class period today.

After turning in the Lesson 2 assignment, I returned the graded papers for Lesson 1. We then went over the answers for the Lesson 1 assignment, and the strategies for finding them, in the study guide. Upon completion of this exercise, I assigned the Lesson 3 quiz/worksheet. It is due tomorrow at the beginning of the class period. I have attached a copy of the assignment below.

Chapter 16 Lesson 2 Due Tomorrow

The students worked on the quiz/worksheet for Lesson 2 on the Civil War today during class. This assignment is due tomorrow at the beginning of the class period. I have attached a copy of the quiz/worksheet below.

Please make sure your student has this assignment completed so it can be turned in on time tomorrow.

Chapter 16 Vocabulary Due, Lesson One Worksheet Assigned

The vocabulary assignment for the Chapter 16 vocabulary on the Civil War was due today at the beginning of class. Please check your students grades online as several failed to turn in this assignment.

The students were assigned a guided ready worksheet on Lesson One. The kids are to read Lesson One on the Civil War in their study guides and answer the questions. All answers should be found in Lesson One. This guided reading sheet is due on Monday and a grade will be taken on it. I have attached a copy of this short assignment below.

Chapter 28 Tests Graded, Chapter 16 Vocabulary Assigned

The take home open notes/book test over Texas Government was due today at the beginning of the period. I have graded all of the exams that were turned in yesterday to the substitute or today to me. You can check to see how your student fared on this test by checking the online grade book.

The vocabulary on Chapter 16 - The Civil War was assigned today. The students had the period to work on the assignment. The vocabulary is due tomorrow (4/8) at the beginning of the class period. I have attached the vocabulary terms and instructions below.

Open Note/Take Home Test Tomorrow

Tomorrow, I will be out attending training at Region 12 in Waco. The students will have a substitute. Please discuss proper behavior with a substitute with your child.

The students will receive their test over Chapter 28 - Texas Government tomorrow. This will be an open note/book exam. The students will be allowed to use all of their resources in order to answer the questions on the test. Please make sure your student gets to school with all of their notes, vocabulary, study guides, etc. so they have what they need to do well. Any student that does not finish the exam during class tomorrow may take the test home to finish for homework. This test MUST BE RETURNED AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS ON THURSDAY in order to receive full credit.

Chapter 28 Vocabulary Builder Worksheet Due, Chapter 28 Summary and Take Home Test Coming Wednesday

Today, the students turned in the vocabulary builder worksheet for Chapter 28. This was assigned last Friday and due today. I had quite a few fail to turn in the assignment. I have attached a copy of the vocabulary builder worksheet for any students that might have lost their copy and need to redo it.

I have also attached a summary of Chapter 28 for the kids. If they know the information on the summary, along with the notes and vocabulary done in class, they should do fine on the exam. This summary is below the vocabulary builder assignment below.
