Interested in Fascism, Mussolini, and WWII?  Read the article above (you may need to copy & paste the link, not sure if you can just click on it!) 

This isn't unusual for Rome - every time they try to extend the subway/train system they run into ruins and more history!

Homework Over Break - ALL CLASSES

Vacation is finally here!  Rest up, enjoy any holiday you are celebrating, and DO YOUR HOMEWORK!  Remember, if there is no summer school you only have 2 options left for this year: pass & move forward or fail & get left back.  That's it.  No other option will exist.

Global I:
You received 2 handouts in class today - DO THEM.  You should also have completed every other handout from Chapter 17.  This includes the vocabulary.

Global II:
Check your homework sheet for what's due on 4/1.  You have a significant Castle Learning assignment that you should do over the break, I would break it down to 20-ish questions a day to make it easier...but that's me.  Do it your way, BUT DO IT.  There is no "partial credit" or "second chance," just like a test. 

In addition, it is likely that I will be moving your Chapter 33 Exam from 4/3 to a date the following week.  Everything remains due as listed n your homework sheet.

U.S. History:
Check your homework sheet for what's due on 4/1. You have several Castle Learning assignments that you should do over the break, I would break it down to one per day to make it easier...but that's me. Do it your way, BUT DO IT. There is no "partial credit" or "second chance," just like a test.

There are just 2 weeks left in the 3rd marking Period.  We are in the home stretch.  You really need to pour it on to get through the rest of the year successfully, so DO IT!

Enjoy the break!

PARENTS & GUARDIANS!!!!!

Good Afternoon Parents & Guardians!

A progress report from me will be coming home with your student tomorrow.  It lists assignments and grades through the last homework packet completed (chapter tested on) and most work through the week of 3/15. 

Please be sure to discuss the highlighted deficiencies with your student.  You student controls all of his/her homework grade, and just about 90% of his/her classwork grade.  If your child does not have "A's" in these categories, please stress upon them the importance of taking ownership of their grades & education.  These two categories can overcome those who are "bad test takers" dung the year.  Since no one has stayed for extra help in the last 6 weeks, no one should be failing. 

Please be sure to sign the report and send it back in with your student on TUESDAY, 3/12.  It will count as a test grade, so is an easy grade of 100 for your student.  Each day late drops this grade 25 points.

Thank you in advance for helping me help your student!
~ Mrs. Ramo
