If you were gone on Monday, I have a hard copy of the notes below for you. Please see me if you need help understanding the test format and/or requirements.
I hope you had a great break!
Thank you to those of you who brought food to social studies before break! It was fun and interesting! : ) Several dates have changed as a result of the snow days, so our week has a bit more to it than was planned before. Please see the upcoming dates below. We have rescheduled Mr. Adler’s visit on April 22nd. Because of this change, I am going to ask that students who purchased Mr. Adler's book and want it signed bring it in before or on April 22nd, so that I can get them back to students in late April/early May. Upcoming Dates:
We continue our unit about totalitarianism this week. All classes have earned a food party in class on Tuesday. The sign-up is in Google Classroom and is voluntary. Mr. Adler will speak to us on Thursday about his experience during the Holocaust. He is happy to sign copies of his book. If your 7th grader would like to buy his book and have it signed, the deadline will be March 28th to bring the book into school. I will then deliver the books to Mr. Adler and will get them back to the students in April. Lastly, we will have a vocabulary test on Thursday. The list of words is below and there will be a quizlet to study with starting on Monday.
