Quarter 2 is underway and we have been keeping busy in class learing about how our government works under the US Constitution. In addition, the key terms in this quarter is essential to student understanding. Students have 50 key terms this quarter that will be defined and applied in explaining how our government works. Attached is the vocabulary terms for this quarter. Students have the option of printing this copy and putting it into their vocabulary section of the history notebook. Otherwise, the key terms are on the front board in the classroom.

Sierra Vista: United We Stand

Posted on September 8, 2011 in Uncategorized by jvelazquez

 

In remembrance of the tragedy that unfolded on September 11, 2001, we will be taking the day in class to discuss the impact of that day. In addition, the school will be involved in creating a chain link in which students are writing statements of what Freedom means to them, why they  are proud to be an American as well as dedicating their link to someone important to them that has fought or is continuing to fight for our freedom. Students will walk outside their classrooms during RELAX tomorrow to show our unity and respect for those who lost their lives and for those who continue to fight for our freedom.  In addition, to that day, we are creating a tribute wall in class and I have asked students to send in pictures of those who have served or is continuing to serve or to draw pictures or write poems for the wall. I will be posting a photo of the wall as it will be up for the entire year. I have included a video that I will be playing to students in class tomorrow.
