The 8th grade has begun Chapters 3 and 4 this week...studying the formation of the colonies in what will eventually become the United States of America. We spent the entire class period discussing how we will get through this comprehensive unit.
Students today received information about their assigned work from now through December 16, when UAS goes on its 2 week holiday break. Included is a chart that shows when Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 tests will be given and when the assigned English Colonies Project is due. I've divided this project into portions that are to be done both at school and at home. If your student works for about 20-30 minutes each night on a bit of this, they'll easily get finished by the due date. I've gone over the information comprehensively with each class, but if a student still has a question, have also encouraged them to ask me for help. I've told them that waiting until the last moment to begin will make it impossible to complete their work. For you parents: they will therefore be able to do something for Social Studies every night until December 15!!!
