A quick look at what we did in the classroom each day - Start here if you are absent, but most importantly check your Google Classroom - not just assignments, but the material posted each day. I will post the classroom presentation from each day in the afternoon so you can see what you missed. For interested parents, here is where to find a better answer than the "Nothing" my kids told me when I asked the question, "What did you do today?" The day's presentation is also linked under the date.
9/14 - We started to look at the Founders use of the Roman Republic as a model for a new government.
9/11 - After Study Check 2 we all met in the pod to talk about where history tells us we might be in another 25 years from September 11th.

9/9 - Our first study check then we pre-read about John Locke before going into Lesson 2 about him in We the People, our text.

9/3 - How the colonies began to develop to be different from their mother countries was the topic of the day.
