Civics Assignments for May 4 through 8

I hope everyone has been following messages on LiveGrades and your school email.  The most important thing right now is that all assignments for Seniors are due by May 13.  I will continue to create assignments this week and next.   Some of you have made great efforts to increase your grade and I applaud that.

Information will be sent out soon in regards to returning textbooks to the school and to clean out lockers.  There will be assigned times posted through LiveGrades, telephone calls, and social media.

I have created a Flipgrid and I want you to view the video I posted.  Then I want you to click the green button and create a short video telling me how you are doing.  It would be great to see familiar faces!
