Monday, Feb 25th!
Welcome back! This week is the first full week of the semester…. 5 full days… 😮
2/25 Quick Write:
Work I will be collecting from you (unless you already turned them in):
If you didn’t turn in your Quick Writes or Current Event from last week, be sure to get them in today! If I do not have your 2/22 Current Event today, you will receive a signature on the PBIS form (just as we discussed in class on Friday).

Then we will read pages 291–294 in our textbook, taking Cornell Notes as we read.
Pages 291–294:
I want you to focus on the stark differences between Adams and Washington, as well as the tense relationships between the political parties: the Federalists and the Republicans.
Reminder: Current Event is due THIS FRIDAY.
