Hello WV Studies Students and Parents,
I put grades on ed-line today for last week, the first week of the 2nd 6 weeks.  Sorry for the lag, but things haven't gone to well this week.

Today we had presentations on frontier life.  Some were really good and some not so good.  Some could not present due to technical difficulties but we will iron those out and do better next time.  Look for presentation grades on ed-line next week. 

Many students did NOT turn in their 100 point assessment on the explorers.  The assignment is on ed-line under assignments and the last day to turn it in is Tuesday Oct. 9th for 50% credit.  I had some students say they could not open the document on ed-line so i gave them a paper copy. 

Explorer Report-  Due 10/9 Next Tuesday.   !!!

Pioneer Project-  Was assigned Tuesday Oct. 2 and will be due by Friday Nov. 2 .  Instructions are on ed-line under the assignments tab and I gave each student a paper copy.   200 points.  I am looking forward to some nice projects this year.  

One six weeks down and 5 to go.   Keep up the good work.  Have fun at the Pumpkin Festival!!!
