K/H Vocab 1&2
For K/H, this is our first chunk of vocabulary: Get your nerd on.
Please note that each unit only has about 12 words, so we take our vocab quizzes over two units at a time. The words are grouped by root word, which will make it easier to study.
Please note that I have posted the quiz/homework calendar. There should be a link ^^^ up there that says "Current K/H Calendar."

Projects
K/H Classes:
Your project is due on Monday, May 19. Please bring a brief outline of your presentation for me to take notes on while you present. You must print this before you come to class. You may use note cards during your presentation, but please practice your presentation so you don't read to the class from your cards. Feel free to bring any props or objects that you think will help us understand your points. I have had some students ask if costumes are allowed - I guess that's okay, just stay in dress code and don't cover your face. Safety issue.
On-Level Classes:
We will continue to work on your projects next week. We will begin debates on Thursday, May 22.
