2 things for Social Studies

Good evening parents and students: 1) I hope by now you have begun to work on your Social Studies World War II projects (at least a little bit, haha). I urge all of you to write down questions about your portfolios (so you don't forget) and bring them to class so you can get answers to anything you are not sure of. I will also hand out the rubric for this project on Thursday so you can know how it will be graded. If you have nearly completed it, you can use the rubric to go back and make sure your portfolio is in A+ shape. I will also post the rubric below.
2) Our Social Standards now guide us into learning about the governments and economic systems throughout Europe. This should take us into the next quarter, which will bring us then into Canada then Latin America. Just a little heads up about what's coming up in Social Studies class. Have a wonderful rest of the week. Here is the rubric:
