Friday Study Day
Hello Students,
Friday is a study day in social studies. It will be the first study day of the
year. Here are a few reminders about it:
-Your first task is to make up any late or absent work in social studies and then
any other class that you have.
-Once class begins, you may only use your computer if the assignment requires
computer work. You will need to check with me and show me that the only way to do
the assignment will be with the computer.
-If done with all current work and missing/late work, then you may read a book
(like a book from the library).
-I have boring books you can choose from if you do not bring a book to class :-)
-You will not be playing games or listening to music on your computers.
If the study day goes well, then we might have another one. If it does not, then
we probably won't have another one.
See you all tomorrow.
Mr. McHugh

Why study history??
In no special order:
If we did not learn from the past, then we would make the same mistakes in the future.
Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.
History is the story of how we became who we are now.
Everything happening today in the world is a piece of a long line of events.
The more you know about the past, the more ready you will be for the future.
History helps explain how we got to where we are today.
By examining the struggles, successes, and failures of our ancestors, we learn how to examine ourselves and move forward.

This is a good place to start to learn Hindi. You may not do lesson 1 for extra credit, because we have done it in class. But, you may go to lesson 2 or others to learn and get the extra credit.
Hindi Lesson 1 link. You will need to provide the link that you actually used to help you when you present/perform.
To get the extra credit, you need to speak the Hindi sentence to the best of your ability. We will then check via the smartboard to see if you have done it correctly. You will get 2 pts. extra credit per word learned. If you are awesome, you could possibly earn 3 per word.
The extra credit can not be done unless you have all of your missing work done for social studies class.
