Parents- I tried to get all the grades inputted on skyward before the break, but it looks like it won't happen for all the classes. Sorry about that. I'm getting married on Saturday and am taking some time off for that. Then I got sick this week and took some time off that I didn't anticipate. I won't be here the next few days, so will include what we are doing while I am gone as well in this blog post.
UT Studies:
Today students reviewed for the test. They made flash cards. Here is the outline for the flashcards. They can use these to study and be ready for the test. The test will be next week on Monday and Tuesday. It is on the Native Americans, Spanish explorers, Mountain Men, and Pioneers. They will need to have all late work for the unit turned in by the test, so get on skyward and make sure everything is in!
Drawing:
Today and while I am gone students will continue to work on the grid drawing assignment.

UT Studies:
We turned in the mapping today. Students had some time to finish it. We talked about the Bear River Massacre. Students read primary sources from differing perspectives and then classified it either as a massacre or a battle. Most students turned it in at the end of class. It will be due next class period. The test will be next Monday and Tuesday. All missing work needs to be turned in by then for the unit.
Drawing:
Students started a grid project today. We watched this video and I also demonstrated how to do it.

Utah Studies:
We went over powerpoints for Salt Lake settlements and Native American/settler relations. I taught them some note taking tips.
Due Dates: ***The due dates are for A days (or whichever day is being taught first....sometimes the district switches it to B days being taught first). If your student has me on a B day, their due date will be the following day.
-The powerpoint notes are due today, and the mapping is due on Tuesday. They will have a few minutes in class on Tuesday to work on mapping.
-Our Unit 2 test is coming up on November 25. We will have a review day before the test.
Drawing:
We had a sketchbook day. We all drew an orangatang together using chalk pastels. Students had the rest of the time to make their own drawing using chalk pastels.
Due Dates: ***The due dates are for A days (or whichever day is being taught first....sometimes the district switches it to B days being taught first). If your student has me on a B day, their due date will be the following day.
8th grade- Their pointallism is due today. I told them if they take it home over the weekend and bring it back Monday or Tuesday it will not be counted as late.
7th grade- Their scientist and organic shape shading assignments are due today!

Today we talked about the start of the LDS church, the different places Mormons moved, and reasons why there was conflict with their neighbors. They filled out more of their powerpoint notes worksheet. We also talked about other pioneer groups that passed Utah. We watched a short clip on the Donner Reed party (minute 2 to 7:30).
Some parents at student led conferences asked that I put upcoming due dates on the blog. So I will start to do that. Due dates will be for A day classes. So if your student has me on B day their due date will be the next day.
Powerpoint notes: November 15
Mapping: November 15
Drawing:
7th: Started another project to practice shading. They drew some organic connecting shapes and shaded them from dark to light.
Scientist shading: November 15
