Semester Two for APUSH!
Finally, this Wednesday, we will begin semester 2! There will be several major deadlines this semester in regards to National History Day contest. Please review your student’s syllabus for these. Also, we have missed many days first semester and will have to move VERY quickly to make it through the material before the AP US History test on Friday, May 7. Remember, AP classes are different in that we have to have all material covered by the test date instead of the end of the year–lobby for earlier start times for the school year! 
I just wanted to give everyone an early heads up in regards to our quick pace this semester! Please support your student by encouraging them and allowing for a quiet place to study at home-I know you already do this, but it really helps! They have done a terrific job first semester and have quite a lot to be proud of!!! I know I am proud of them! Of course, if you have any questions please feel free to email me. The new syllaubs, and requirements are posted today!
PLEASE DONATE ITEMS TO YOUR STUDENT’S CLASSROOM!
dry erase markers (preferably black), kleenex, antibacterial hand gel, pencils, and pens. All will be shared by the classroom. Also, please restock your student’s personal supplies—I am running out of pens, paper and pencils to loan to students!

APUSH Students
Hello everyone! I hope you enjoyed your snow days last week. You have probably heard semester finals have moved back a week. We will now cover chapter 16-the civil war-this week in class and you WILL be tested over the information on the semester final next week! But, you do have an extra week to study for finals. Plan on turning in chapter 16 outline the day you take your final exam–chapter 15 will be turned in on Monday (it was due last Friday). Happy reading!
APUSH Reformer Project
hello APUSH students! I keep receiving many emails of your quotes–keep them coming!
In lieu of the several days we have missed this week, we will NOT complete a roundtable discussion of your reformers. This is one of my favorite projects but it takes much time when we are on a normal schedule without all the snow days. In order to avoid getting too far behind, we will skip the discussions and have you turn in your summary analysis for your project points. I would suggest you spend a bit more time on this because it will be worth more points than before. Remember to ALWAYS cite your sources whenever you write a paper and include a bibliography. You can use MLA or APA style. Have a good snow day today and your final summary analysis will be due Monday. If you haven’t emailed me your quote yet, do so ASAP. See you Friday!
Reformer Projects for APUSH
We will hopefully research tomorrow (Thursday) and then have our roundtable discussions beginning on Friday.
