Weekly Syllabus

Week of Monday, October 17  through Friday, October 21

This week we will have a bit more information about the U.S. Constitution.  After that, we will get back to the reading and the history this week and take a look at the first two decades of the Constitution, focusing on the Presidencies of George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson (1789-1809).

This is an unusual week, with only four days of school and only three traditional classes. Try to stay focused!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Our next test will be on Tuesday, November 1st. It will cover chapter 7, the Constitution, chapter 8 and chapter 9.  So we have some hard work to do in the next couple of weeks.
