Reminders

Tomorrow we will begin with a 30 question map quiz. It will focus on physical features of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, and China. There will not be any cities on the map.
Remember to finish the Persia map and chpt. 3 section assessments by Friday. After the quiz tomorrow we will wrap up Persia and discuss the Hebrew tribes and the rise of Judaism. Please review the corresponding material in the text book so you can contribute to class discussion. You may also want to check out the summary of the major religions in your textbook. I think you can find it yourself!!
Parents, your student should be bringing progress reports home for all classes tomorrow. Also, ask to see the early dismissal release form for exam week and the exam schedule. Be prepared for your student to need lots of extra encouragement and support to finish our their first semester. They will have End of Course tests in some of their classes and final exams in all. They will probably have several other tests, projects, etc. to finish out their semester course work. It may seem like a lot especially to your ninth grader who is not used to this work load, but you will both survive! And then -- a well-deserved two-week break before we start all over again in January.
Please e-mail me with any questions or concerns.
Mrs. Carley
