End of the 9 weeks

I have to have all grades in by this Thursday. Last week we took a benchmark test, and the grades have gone back to the students. The average score was a B. If a student is interested in pulling up their grade there are some things they can do. I'm available before and after school for students to get help, and several students have taken advantage of that. I can also pull students out of their Connections classes to work on improving their grades.

For the second 9 weeks, we're beginning with some history. For the next 2 weeks we'll be working on 20th century Europe. This week we're studying how World War I helped cause the Russian Revolution and the rise of Nazism in Germany. Next week we'll be begin with the effects of World War II, and from there we'll go on to the creation of the European Union.
