Homework: Monday, May 9

Social Studies Homework: Document D from the Great Wall Mini-Q series. Due to some other projects for ELA and Science, I am allowing students to turn this document in on Wednesday.

Math Homework: Work on Khan Academy and build up toward your 6000 points for the coming week. Remember: this is an easy way to improve your grade before progress reports and is a good way to brush up on your math skills and prepare for the upcoming NWEA MAP test.

Social Studies Documentary Link: In class this morning, we watched the first 40 minutes of a documentary about two New Yorkers who retraced the steps of Marco Polo with a trip along the 'silk road.' If you missed class today (due to the field trip, or absence), please watch this at home this evening, so you are caught up with us when we return to the documentary later this week. Here is a link to the video on the PBS website, or you can google it and watch on youtube (it's also free on Amazon Prime).
