This week in Social Studies students will be starting the last section of Chapter 1 - The Beginnings of Civilization.  We will read, answer questions, and discuss key moments that led to humans settling in one place and developing civilizations.  Students will also be working on writing constructed responses.  We will start these in class and they will be finished at home.  A test on this unit will happen once we finish learning about this material.  Students should be reviewing nightly their notes - even when homework is not specifically assigned.  

Also, parent-teacher conference forms will be going home this week.  Please read them over and have them returned as soon as possible.  The order in which they are received will be the order your request will be honored.
