It Feels like Winter Today :(

I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Today in American Government we are learning about various types of elections. This lesson will continue thru Thursday.

Sociology students were told to bring envelopes for an activity today. If you forgot, or were absent tomorrow is the deadline to participate. The completed "stuff" is due on Thursday for this activity. It is optional so if you are out sick - you aren't losing out on points.

Late post today:(

Laptop trouble today - sorry for the late post! Sociology learned about the John-Joan Case. This fits along with the nature-nurture topic. If you are wanting info - google the topic and you will find a number of articles. I suggest the Time Article or the Rolling Stone Magazine. Socialization quiz #1 is tomorrow. Schedule make up with me if you are absent.

American Government had Officer Conard come in and give a presentation today on the 4th amendment.
