U.S. History: 12/12-12/16

Hello Parents,

I hope everyone had a good weekend. You can really feel the holiday season approaching inside and outside of the school. This week we are continuing with our exploration of the early colonies. I will introduce more of the reasons why the colonies were founded and who was settling there. This leads to the cultural differences that evolve over time in our early history. I will wrap up with all new material tomorrow and then launch into review to prepare for our test. The test will be on Thursday. Today students began putting together a "study packet". The study packet includes 7 pages (worksheets and quizzes). This is all the work we have done so far on this unit, mostly following the content in Chapter 5 of the textbook. If students lost work, I have extra copies that they can get from me. The completed study packet will be the student's "ticket" to play the review game on Wednesday. I suggest that students begin preparing for the test starting tonight with around 15 minutes of review. You can help by "quizzing" them from the study packet. This week's tasks are the following:

____ Chap. 5, Sect. 3-5 questions/vocabulary worksheet (due Wed.)
____ Completed "study packet" (due Wed)
____ TEST - Chap. 5- The 13 British Colonies (Thursday)

*Reminder - Permission slip and $9 for ice skating trip Friday is due TOMORROW. Thank you.

Have a great week.

Mr. Burton
