There was no school today.

 
Today, class began with a discussion of what was done over the holiday break.  After catching up, we reviewed the Class Rules and Class Procedures.  Students then spent time cleaning out their notebooks so that they could start the semester with space for their new materials. 

For the remainder of class, students worked on the ABCs of Native American removal.  To accomplish this assignment, students wrote six sentences showing their understanding of Native American removal that each started with an assigned letter of the alphabet.
 
Today in class, we finished the ABC activity in class today.  Students were able to receive their first grade of the grading period for participating in this activity.
 
If there was anything left over from the ABC activity from yesterday, we wrapped it up at the start of class today. 

We then spent the remainder of class working in groups on One-Sentence Summaries of Chapter 6. 
 
Students' books were checked for covers and binders were checked for proper dividers at the start of class today.  The One-Sentence Summaries of Chapter 6 that were started yester day were then completed. 

Students were then shown a PowerPoint on the Birth of Atlanta, which was followed by a short Video Clip on the Railroads.
