Grades

Most of the exams that are finished are corrected. A few of you need extra time..it's up to you to find that time either before school or during the make up period. If you do not, I will finish correcting your exam and score what you have completed.

Since we have had these cancelled school days, I will keep you posted as to when makeup time is, and when everything (notebooks, finished exams, anything else you owe me) has to be in...

Thank you.

More Vocab

impeach--to accuse an elected official of crimes or impropriety.
amendments--changes to the Constitution


Federalists: Anti-Federalists
Washington Jefferson
Madison
Hamilton

Delegated powers--powers given to Congress

Any more review questions?

I used the old review sheet when posting--I had added more vocab words. I feel sad that I left them on my desk. I can post them tomorrow, but if you have any emergency vocab needs or questions, please post a comment or send an email: dcaseyrowe@gmail.com.

Tomorrow: Bring your notebooks and all your papers from your locker, your jean pockets, etc... over the next few days we will organize notebooks, check notebooks for the 2nd quarter grade, and finish answering the review sheet questions.
