Please find this icon on website link and click to see the powerpoint. We now have finished the first interactive notebook for our United States History class. We need to finalize a few things. All students are still not finding time to work 10-15 minutes a night, or have decided that taking the time and effort is not worth it. Time management is key to keeping the work manageable. Our blog WE ALWAYS HAVE HOMEWORK, clearly stated earlier this year students should be talking to their parents about homework. I also let classes know that the skills you leave 8th grade with are generally the skills you will have for the future years. Start now building study skills.
For our class coupons we will have to use below:
coupons: No points off when date is made and parent are notified and signed it. It is no more than 5-7 days from due date. Families communicating things that have had bereavement and hospital emergency stays have had exceptions made.
Then during college week can talk about what school is like at different levels. If you want more information here is a powerpoint for reference. Click on the Power point to know more about College. UCLA is not the only school, there are many others. Since I went there I do think it is a good choice. :^)

So please learn your AVID skills too. Most of the students care about the topics and issues we are discussing and want things to improve for many people. But it takes more than talking about them; we also need to learn and understand about the issues to change them. Remember our Four Basic American Principles.
Four Principles of Government in the Declaration of Independence
Principle 1
All people are created equal.
Principle 2
All people have basic rights that cannot be taken away.
Principle 3
The government gets its power to make decisions and to protect rights from the people.
Principle 4
When the government does not protect the rights of the people, the people have the right to change or remove the government.
Finally if you believe in these ideas, to make these ideals come to fruition, or come true for our country, it takes all of us becoming great students and nice people; who are not hating on people at school and abroad. You know what I mean, Matadors, because we talk about it everyday! Follow the social contract. Peace, Love, and Happiness.
