We are officially on to the second grading period of the 1st trimester. I typically will see grades go up this trimester for a variety of reasons so it is an opportunity for you to finish strong. We will be working on a project this week that is a great learning experience for all. You will all need to do your part to help your fellow classmates learn about the Presidents. A reminder that this chapter I will use a lot of resources not from the book so attendance is very important to help you understand the Executive Branch better.
