Field trip and updates

 We still need 20 parents for the Field Trip to World Of Nations. I can offer free tickets to get in but no meal ticket. The about 10 parents have turned in forms and many paid the $10.00 and will get meal tickets. The Field Trip is Thursday 2 May 2013. I have also ordered parking passes if you need  to meet us at the Metro Park.

 The end of the year Field Trip is pending. Mr. G on Team B is working on this Field  Trip. The DCPS rules for Field Trips has changed and he is working on the packet. We estimate the ticket will be $ 85.00-90.00. This will include the bus, EPCOT ticket and meal ticket. Mr G. needs to know all of the parents interested in this trip ASAP. They must fill out a form and DCPS employees are very important to this process. If you are an employee at another school or office, we would like to have you go on the trip with us. These are new DCPS rules and we hope to be able to go on the trip June 6.

Many have asked about the assignments on the beginning of this nine weeks portal. The assignments are from the last week of the third nine weeks. I must have grades turned in on the third nine weeks, before I can get the last week's assignments in the computer. Thank you for the questions and I like for your students to get credit for all of the work they do that last week.

New information

 I would like to let you know about an upcoming field trip. We hope to be going to World of Nations on Thursday 2 May. The cost is usually $10.00 but the cost of the bus could effect this price. We are always looking for chaperons. Unfortunately the cost is the same for them. This will include a drink and lunch package.

The History Fair Papers are due Monday 11 March and Tuesday 12 March.

Test Test For Chapter 4 is still Monday 11 March and Tuesday 12. Except 4th period.

 We will be moving on to China for 1,2,5,6 and India for 4th.
