Hello Parents,
Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays. Students were pretty excited today to talk about some of their gifts and things they did over break. I want to announce a new addition to our class. We have Brady Murray from UVM who will be an intern for the semester. He was the intern for Joe Smith in the fall.
In U.S. History we are starting a new unit, "The Road to Revolution". We will look at issues that students feel passionate enough about to be moved to action. We then will look at current issues around the globe, types of protest, and any results from protest. We will then apply this to colonial times when many in the colonies rose up against British policies and rule. You may see an interview come home tonight or tomorrow as part of a homework assignment. I want students to interview an adult about some current or past protests, type of protest used, and any results that followed. Students can interview any adult so this assignment may end up being completed at school. The following are this week's assignments:
____ interview (due Thurs)
____ Vocabulary Quiz (Fri.)
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Have a great week.
Mr. Burton
