Don’t want to do homework?  Remember the consequences of your choices:

1.    Get a zero on every assignment you fail to complete (not recommended)

2.    Possible failure of the marking period (not recommended)

3.    Zero on homework quizzes, leading to failing marking period (not recommended)

JUST TO BE CLEAR........

IF (big fat "if") we have a snow day tomorrow (Monday, 2/11), all work due Monday will be due Tuesday, ALONG WITH all work also due on Tuesday, 2/12.

Any quizzes scheduled for Monday will be given on Tuesday, and any quizzes scheduled for Tuesday will take place on that day.  The ONLY exception will be scheduled tests - Chapter Exams will be pushed back one day in US History & Global I, possibly in Global II.

This is the same general procedure you have with a sub, although you would still have a test as scheduled under regular conditions.  This is a unique circumstance so the above applies only to exams scheduled for this week (as indicated & as necessary.)

STAY SAFE, STAY OUT OF THE ROAD, STAY OFF THE ROADS!  Most importantly, "4 wheel drive" does not mean "4 wheel stop," and nothing stops on ice.  Don't assume a car will or can stop for you if you are in its way.  Just stay inside and watch the History Channel all day - after you finish shoveling your driveway and help out your neighbors.  What?  I did, and I'm way older than you.  No excuse for teenagers not to help out the older folks.  You'll be one of those older folks needing help one day yourself.

Global II & I cherubs...see if you can find Gandhi without going to the store.  Think "Regents Review."
US History chickadees..."The Revolutionary War" series is on the Military Channel (173 where I live) starting at 5 pm and lasts for HOURS (it's the whole series) - it's really great & can be considered Regents Review..  There's a show about assassination attempts on Lincoln showing as I type this, also interesting.

See you tomorrow...or Tuesday.

US History - QUIZ TOMORROW!

Don't forget - your Chapter 16 quiz is tomorrow even though it isn't on your HW packet.  Study up on topics like Plessy v. Ferguson, Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. DuBois, poll tax, literacy test and the like.  It is a half period quiz and will require a pen, as always.

In addition, if you missed the Chapter 17 Vocabulary list and have still not copied it from someone else, use the words at the end of each section in that Chapter.  You'll end up doing more than what's on the list, but in school that's never a bad thing. :)

US History: HW packet due Monday!!

The packet handed out last Wednesday is due Monday - all of it.  The Castle Learning assignment that has been open since that same day will close on February 5th.  As I warned you, it is very lengthy and would not be fun to do in a single night with other homework.

Don;t forget that vocabulary list, since that quiz will be given this week.

A new HW packet will be handed out this coming week.
