Thank you!

 Dear Parents,
Thank you for being so patience about my surgery. Everything went very well this time and hopefully this adventure will be complete next October!


 I apologize for not posting all of the information while I was out. I have graded all of the papers from before the break and updated the grades. I am now starting with papers turned in since last Monday. I will have those graded soon. My goal is to grade the test from before break and then the homework. I seem to have lots of late work turned in this past week. Please remind students to put their name on the paper, because my nameless wall has run out of room! It would be great to have assignments on late papers also, then I don't have to guess what they are for a grade.


1/4-5_ India voc p 106 questions p 111, 1ab,2ab,3ab
1/6-7 Mohenjo-Daro  Read p 112-113 and do assessment. Draw a picture from your mind's eye on what you think the city looks like.
1/8-11- Hinduism Read p 114-118, voc p 114 questions p 118
1/12-13- Buddhism. Read p 119-123 voc p 119 questions p 123.


Please remind students to be respectful when learning about another person; religion and culture.
