U.S. History

Good afternoon everyone,

For those who observe the month of Ramadan I wish you and your families all the best for safe and healthy days ahead. Ramadan Mubarak.

There are going to be a few changes this week to our schedule and expectations. As many of you know due to the conduct of a number of students in and outside of our district Google Meets will be suspended until further notice. Below is a copy of Dr. Maleyko’s letter addressing the topic. Beginning next week will work on conducting our meetings through Ilearn but while I figure that out instead of a meeting this week we will have you watch a crash course video on the the events of the 1960’s and complete a video reflection. I will send out information on next weeks meetings on Monday May 4^th. Included in this post is a link to the video and template for the reflection, the articles for this week and the reading reflection temple (along with links to videos of the articles being read), vocabulary for Chapter Twenty and an updated schedule for this week.
