We are making progress toward completing our CBA.  Remember, this is a test.

Student Elections and completing your essay are what you have in store tomorrow.

Wednesday, May 20, 2009

I’m back but you may not hear from me very much in the next few weeks. We have been unable to access our input pages from school for almost two weeks so I am doing this one from home.

CBA, Yea!!! Tomorrow and Friday you will be writing your final draft in class. Bring plenty of paper and pencils. Good Luck.

After a recap of the information we covered on Monday, students finished reading the Nisqually packet and completed taking notes.  If they did not it is homework.

Homework: Read the Nisqually packet and take notes. Band Students also read “Before the White Man Came to Nisqually Country” and take notes before returning to class on Thursday. Good luck at your competition.

We have officially begun research on the Ancient Nisqually and people of Yelm and how they used the same environment in different times.  All three classes took notes from the first source while reading and discussing the information together. Tomorrow you will be on your own reading and taking notes. Remember the theme is, “Humand and Environment Interaction”.  Have a great evening.     Sequalitchew

Students completed and handed in chapter 5 vocabulary. As a group, we read. “Go West”, which explained who chose to go west, several of the reasons for making the trip, obstacles, and the aftermath along the trail.

Progress reports will go out Friday. All students should be turning in any missing work by Thursday.

We wrapped up a very long, difficult week. Difficult mostly because things were not normal. You successfully completed the Washington State Map Assignment, worked on Chapter 5 and then learned about mountain men, specifically Jeremiah Johnson.

Monday we will start analysing human and environment interaction by comparing and contrasting the use of land by the ancient Nisqually and the current occupants of Yelm and Ft. Lewis.

Hello to all. If you were in class on Monday you know I was not. I will be out Tuesday and Wednesday also. You should all be working on Ch. 5 by the end of the day Tuesday.  Wednesday will be a little break from the books, not from writing… you will be taking notes.  You will be watching a movie about a fur trapper in the Rocky Mountains. You should be relating what you learned in chapter 4 to what you see in the movie and complete the worksheet as you go.          

                

Behave and enjoy learning!
