Okay everyone, I am sure you are as "excited" as I am to be back to school and through with lazy days, food, and family fun but we have much to do and little time to do it, so snap out of your turkey daze and lets get on track for a great December!
We are now rounding the corner and as they say in the Derby "and down the stretch they come!" We are 15 school days from Semester's end. There are many of you who are on track for a great semester grade. "Bravo!" Others are struggling a bit. If you fall into the second category, please come after school for tutoring on Wednesday's from 3:30-4:30. My UK observer has been gracious enough to spend her time catching people up and giving partial credit for missed assignments. We will begin this week discussing the last unit of the semester (Imperialism/Foreign Policy in the early 20th century). We are still discussing the four Presidents (McKinley, T. Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson), but we are looking at their foreign policy rather than the domestic reforms of the Progressive Era. Now for this weeks agenda.
