Social Studies:
We will begin working in a new modern day Downers Grove packet. The students will also be given a learning log to work in. All of the answers to the questions in the learning log will be discussed in class. All of these answers come directly from the new Downers Grove packet. There will be a test covering this material in a few weeks. These important packets should stay in the social studies folder in the binder until we are done with the unit.
