The test on Chapter 4 - "North Africa and the Middle East" will be on Monday,
November 21. Study guides were given out today and are to be completed for
Wednesday, November 16. We will play a Jeopardy review game on Friday.
Students should study throughout the week, as well as over the weekend. I
have included a printable copy of the study guide on my website that students
can use to help them study.

Just a quick note to let everyone know that the chapter 2 test is on
Thursday, October 13th. Students should study over the long weekend and come
in on Tuesday ready to play the Jeopardy review game. Also, I have included a
copy of the study guide on my website that students can print out and use to
help them study. Have a wonderful Columbus Day Weekend!

A note about the online textbook:
The online textbook is a great resource for students. The link to it, along
with username and password, is in the LINKS section of my website. If you
have trouble accessing it, I have a couple of pointers. If it tells you that
the password is incorrect, make sure you have not copied the 'space' before
the password. This is a common mistake! Also, I have received numerous
reports that some computers will access the book but are unable to navigate
around the pages. I have had this problem on my new computer at home and
after hours of troubleshooting I have been unable to remedy the problem.
Because the book is older and was most likely published using older software,
older computers seem to have no problem accessing it. If you have an older
laptop or desktop, try accessing it with that. In the mean time I will do my
best to come up with a fix for it on the newer computers. If anyone has any
breakthroughs, please do not hesitate to let me know!

Welcome back parents and students! I hope that everyone had an oustanding
summer vacation and relaxing Labor Day weekend. With the first week of school
behind us students will begin getting into the content of their new courses.
On this website I have included some information that you may find helpful
including an online textbook. Of course I will go over this information with
parents at Open House on September 21st @ 6:00.
Also, I would like to thank any parent or student who has donated any items
to me this year. The donations are very much appreciated. Thank you!
