History Update
Progress reports go home today. They reflect grades the students have earned as of May 5. If your student’s grade is low, it is indicative of missing work. Many have turned in past-due assignments since then, but many have not. Please check GradeSpeed for the latest work. I will be entering grades this weekend.
Due today: Map with questions.
Due Monday for all students: Latitude/Longitude assignment with map. They have had two class periods to work on this assignment. If it is not done today, it is to be handed in Monday morning.
Due Wednesday/Thursday: Map Questions.
None of these are posted assignments because most require a special map.
We will be continuing with some basic geography work until the last day the students are here and each assignment is a grade.
