DC Government
Snook's Seniors October 28 - November 1, 2019
This week
We will finish up our unit on the executive branch and begin our work in the legislative branch. Students will research a bill and trace it through Congress. We will also learn about lobbyists, and the different committees bills can go through. After this unit, we will start our final project, Fighting Chance.
Voice of Democracy
Students who wish to enter this contest need to record their essays this week. Please have them see me if they need help. Recordings are due on October 30. Please encourage them to do this as they have done the hard part of writing it.
Transcripts
Transcripts with updated class rank through Spring 2019 coursework are available in the counselors office. Remember, your child also needs to request MCC transcripts to be sent to their college once they graduate. I prefer using the clearinghouse so they can track the transcript being sent.
College Acceptance
If your child has been accepted to college, please let me know. I love showing them off on my college board.
Bush Library
I have always taken the seniors to the Bush Library at SMU. It has many hands on activities that relate to our government and the kids always enjoy it. The students will have to pay for the bus, which is $10 each plus lunch money for the food court. It is a very worthwhile and enriching experience and if a child cannot afford this, please have them come to me privately. I am accepting money now so we can reserve the bus. Checks may be made payable to West ISD.
