Just a reminder of the fact that we have decided to change our schedule so that we have History twice a week for the first half of the year, and then Geography twice a week for the second half of the year.  This way, you only have to focus on one subject at a time, it will be easier for you to focus on your learning in those areas, and we will be able to move through each curriculum in a more efficient manner.


Please find your homework below.

Art - Unity & Harmony assignment completed (due Wednesday)
