Just a reminder that the students have a quiz tomorrow on what we have been discussing in class the past two weeks: creating and ratifying the constitution. Attached is a study guide and a ppt that I used to review in class. Students should also check the class website (msmadridsocialstudies.weebly.com) for additional resources. If students will be at the 5th grade rally, they need to drop by during PAWS on Thursday to make up the quiz or Thursday after-school. No make-ups will be allowed after Thursday. 

Hi P2! 

 

Don't forget to complete the front page of our handout "Ratifying the Constitution". We will work on the second page in class tomorrow 2/16.

Hi All, 

 

Students do not have homework for tomorrow. 

 

There is an extra credit opportunity for the students to complete tonight. Tonight, the State of the Union address will happen at 6pm. For extra credit, I would like students to view the state of the Union and pay attention to the issues that are being mentioned with completing the handout that is attached.

Hi all, 

 

Students were assigned a writing assignment on the American revolution today in class. The assignment will count as their final exam and students will turn in the assignment by December 22nd (next Friday and also last day of the semester). If the student will be absent, please make sure they reach out to me with their assignment by the 22nd. 

 

Thank you! 

Ms. Madrid 

Hi P2! 

 

Students do not have any homework for today. Just make sure to bring in your notebooks to class on Wednesday. 

Ms. Madrid 

Hi p2, 

 

Just a reminder that your vocabulary words and diagram handout are due on Friday! 

 

Ms. Madrid 

Hi All, 

 

Students were assigned a reading for the weekend (Chapter 2) and along with questions. It is due on Monday. I am attaching Ch 1 and Ch 2 on PDF but only Chapter 2 is supposed to be read. 

 

Ms. Madrid 

Today I distributed their rubric for their interactive notebook. I will be grading their notebooks on Wednesday of next week. I asked the students that as homework over the weekend they reviewed their notebook and made sure they had it in order correctly and complete based on the rubric. I am attaching the rubric. Also I have been working on creating a class website to make sure the students have somewhere to reference whenever they are absent or didn't understand something in class. I will be posting assignments and powerpoints on there so be sure to check it out as a class resource!

Thank you and have a great weekend:

Hi Periods 1-6! 

 

I just wanted to share the following exhibits that two parents shared with me (thank you!) as an opportunity to attend a cultural event that relates to Spanish. 

 

I know some of my 8th graders are working on the biliteracy seal and one of the requirements ask that they attend a cultural event relating to the target language (Spanish) or complete volunteer hours where the target language is spoken. So the following exhibits would be great for students to attend to fulfill the requirement.

 

For my 6th graders, I am sharing it in case you are interested! Have a great weekend!

#1."Cuba is" at Annenberg Photo Space 

Revealing complexities both on and off the island, Cuba Is explores aspects of Cuba not easily accessed by foreigners, and sometimes not even by Cubans themselves. Born from indigenous, African and European roots, divergent politics and limitations in communication and commerce, the Cuba seen in this exhibition goes beyond the folklore and offers new insight into its current reality. Over 120 photos feature subjects ranging from defiant youth known as “frikis” to the hard-partying children of the 1%, the underground system of sharing digital content—“El paquete”—to Miami’s Chonga girls.

 

"Resolviendo" at Annenberg as well.

RESOLVIENDO is a familiar sentiment in Cuban culture that is being redefined by a new generation. RESOLVIENDO—or “creative drive; resolve”—describes the by-any-means-necessary sensibility of Cuban artists, creating their work despite a lack of resources. As part of Cuba Is, Skylight Studios will celebrate this creative spirit with an interactive installation comprised of artworks and media, much of it exhibited for the first time in the United States, including original pieces visitors can take home. All throughout the exhibition, guests will see and experience the imaginative and creative solutions of the Cuban people, with a special focus on technological improvisations.
