Hello everyone,

It's good to be back at Stargate!  I hope everyone had an amazing time at Cheley, I know I did!  I will never forget the rainstorm and Walter the Farting Dog.  Thanks to all of you for making my first experience there an awesome one!  This blog is going up a day late because I wasn't here on Monday, so hopefully everyone is able to catch up.

We will be having our test on Wednesday and Thursday of this week.  Wednesday we will do the multiple choice questions for all 6 chapters (40 questions, one point each) and then Thursday will be the remaining 60 points in vocabulary and short answer questions.  Remember, the study guide and extra credit crossword are due when you come into class on Wednesday.  Good luck everyone!

Starting next week, we will be studying Egypt.  We will be picking an artifact to study in depth, either through a building project or through writing a research paper.  Please start to think about materials if you will be building, and there will be assignment sheets and rubrics in my documents next week.  These will be due the week before Thanksgiving, which gives us about 5 weeks of working time.  We will have several due dates before then for first drafts, sketches, and other information, so keep an eye on the blog!

Ms. Walsh
