I have been slacking, please accept my apologies, as Thanksgiving, A Jury Trial and trainings have kept me from posting on time.
Well, the holidays are approaching and we have finished Trimester One. Your student has been working on a very in depth project on the use of Child Labor to make goods we use everyday in the United States. Hopefully, you have heard a little about this as most of them have had some serious eye opening moments. They will be debating their topic on Friday.
Students are working on 2 homework assignments for the week, China Vocabulary and a China Map.
They are both due on Friday as well.
Next week, we will be starting a unit of study on China, which will continue after Christmas Break.
