Week 11

Super job to all of you in the Constitution Bowl! Mrs. Brennan and I, and your parents are all so proud of you for all the hard work you put in to learning about the Constitution! Think back to September and how little you knew about the founding of our country and see how much you've learned over the past 7 months. You all are becoming great scholars!

Due to the field trip this week, we've had to bump the class schedule down a week. We won't be doing any Hero presentations this week, so the new presentation schedule will be as follows:

• 4/27 - Ethan & Leila
• 5/4 - Lucy & Reina
• 5/11 - Taylor & Paige (and Dean, fingers crossed!)

Please be sure to get your Hero Report turned in if you haven't yet!!!!

Also, we will have another debate on 4/27. The topic will be: Should a business have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason? We will draw sides in class on Thursday.

Assignments this week are:

OPINION PAPER - According to the first Amendment, does a person have the right to go to a public park and swear around children?

CONSTITUTION JOURNAL - Finish so you can go on the field trip! I really hope you all can go on this outing; it's going to be a great time! Let me know before Thursday if you've completed it: so far, I know that Lucy, Leila, and Paige are done and have earned the field trip reward!

***Now that the Constitution Bowl is behind us, please focus on getting your award requirements competed and passed off. We're running out of time, and I know you'll want to proudly display your keys brimming with ribbons. (Also, I would like you all to make sure you have all the ribbons that you have earned, because some of them have fallen off and/or been misplaced.)

Press forward, scholars, and I hope to take you all out to the museum and ice cream on Thursday!
-Mrs. Hellyer
