Happy Friday Mountain Lion Parents and Guardians! I hope you've all had a nice week. I wanted to reach out to let you all know that May 14th is the last day I will be accepting late assignments. Students can use StudentVue or reach out to me if they are curious about what assignments they still need to complete. There is also an assignment checklist on Google Classroom they can refer to. In this class, we will not have a standard final exam. Students are currently working on a final project instead that will count as their final exam. They must research a topic they are passionate about and answer the question: what facets of America make up our culture? By Monday, students should be finished with their planning guide so that they can meet with me to prepare for their rough draft. In order to help everyone be successful, please encourage your student to work on this at home if they are currently behind. Please feel free to reach out to me if you would like an update on how your student is doing in this class or on this final project. Thank you, and have a wonderful weekend!
