Social Tests have been returned if you got less than 60% I expect your parents to sign it and return it to me for Wednesday. No signed test could result in less participation in our fun activities planned for Wednesday. I am considering an "extra credit" assignment for those of you who were not pleased with your mark. I will let you know what it is on Wednesday. Have fun at CJES...maybe I'll see you in the halls! Ms. Templeman

Dec 5, 2011 Your Social Studies Unit Test is DEC. 15th, 2011. I will NOT be giving a formal review. Instead I will be giving a study guide. I Will post the study guide on this website in addition to giving you a copy in class. You will only have 1.5 classes to review the study guide and ask me questions about the material if you wait until Wednesdays class to get the study guide. It is a unit test which means that it WILL include material from the ENTIRE unit, however, the bulk of the "big questions" will come from chapter 2. If you didn't do so great on the Chapter 1 test you might want to review that as well. Your Take Home Health Exam is due Dec. 19th, 2011 @11:15 am. I will not be accepting late exams. If you don't bring it to school it is the same as getting a zero in the exam. If you want we to read a rough copy of your essay plesae get it to me by the 14th so that I can read it and get it back to you. Study Hall: I am available at lunch on: Dec 7, 9, 13 and 14.
