Hello Team 8-2
I will be out today, March 12th, tending to two sick one-year old boys. I do hope you are all well, and that you are committed to working hard and being respectful. I expect your best behavior and most efficient use of time. The crossword that I have created and the Taboo packet will be helpful as you set out to review for Monday's quiz.
When you are through with your review materials (Taboo & Crossword), I would like to see you interact with a K-W-L on the 1920s. Remember the K-W-L stands for:
* What you Know?
* What you Want to know?
* What you Learned?
I do hope you all have a great weekend! Remember, middle school is fast coming to a close. Let's work as hard as we can in the coming weeks so that the skills necessary for high school success are sharpened.
Classroom Procedures
Please hand out a Taboo packet to each student. These packets can be found on my desk or on the small table in front of my desk. Please inform students that these terms are the BIG ones for Monday’s quiz. Please ask students to take 7 minutes today to review the terms. If comfortable, students may work with a partner to quiz one another. (read taboo terms and ask partner to try to identify the word)
Please hand out WW I Crossword Puzzle. You may allow students to work individually or with a partner. Students may use the “old” textbooks in the back of the room. After 15 minutes, or when all students are nearing completion, please go through the crossword with the students. Answers are below:
Once complete, each student should pick up an “old” textbook from the back of the classroom. Then, please hand out the K-W-L sheet.
Please ask students to open the textbook to the chapter on the 1920s. I believe this is Chapter 24. Utilizing this chapter, ask students to complete the K and W part of the KWL. Feel free to complete the K (What do you KNOW) as a whole-class activity.
What students do not finish of the K-W-L must be finished by Tuesday’s class.

Hello Team 8-2!
I will not be in school today as my son Leo has had his first stomach bug. He is recovering well but must be hydrated throughout the day. I expect only your best behavior and most diligent work for today's substitute. I believe the work I have left is meaningful and will provide a strong overview of the Progressive Era.
Have a great day! I look forward to seeing all of you on Tuesday!

Happy New Year!!!
Happy New Year to Team 8-2
I will be out today due to a family illness. I do expect your best behavior and most disciplined work today. Remember, the measure of a person is not how they act when all eyes are on him or her, but how he or she acts when nobody is watching.
The work you will do today is designed to preview the Era of Reform, which many people see as a natural response to the excesses of Industrialization. Read carefully, think critically, and ask for help when you need assistance.
SPECIAL NOTES
Students who have not yet presented Time Traveler will be expected to do so tomorrow. I suspect that Mr. Weinstein and I will meet to discuss project grades tomorrow and that we may be able to return graded rubrics by Wednesday or Thursday.
All Industrialization Exams will be returned tomorrow. The grades were excellent! Congratulations and keep up the great work!
On Wednesday we will be participating in a Geography Bee. Two students from each section will advance to a school-wide Bee to be held later in the month.
Lesson
Using textbooks which are in the classroom, (please be sure that Ms. Shulman has delivered) have students complete the following assignment. Students must finish for homework:
Due Tuesday, January 5th
Carefully read textbook 586-591
Complete:
Viewing History question on page 587
Viewing History on 589
# 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 on 591
Due Wednesday, January 6th
Carefully read textbook 592-596
Complete:
Viewing History question on 593
Complete # 1 & 2 on pg. 594
# 1 & 2 on pg. 596
____________________________________________________________________________________
If students finish early, please ask them individually to create a list of ten of the biggest problems facing the United States today. Then, ask students to rank these issues or problems in order of importance.
If any kids finish everything, I do have a library of Junior Scholastic magazines in the back of the room (back table)
