     UPDATE: 6:26 pm
WCPSS has CANCELLED school for tomorrow due to the lovely snow!  This means the following for you: 1) Monday we will finish up our content for Time Period 3, 2) Tuesday all Juniors will take the ACT exam and miss 1st through 3rd periods to do it, and 3) your exam will now be on Wednesday next week!  We will shift all other assignments accordingly on the calendar, so look for the new dates to be ready sometime tomorrow.  One last note, Hutchison's kiddos still need to share your rough draft intro paragraphs using the link in yesterday's blog BY MONDAY!  Thank you, that is all, have a lovely day off!

Today was an early release day due to weather, but with the time we had we checked off our Chapter 8a textbook notes and then dove into a discussion over the early years of the new nation under George Washington.  We spent a few minutes discussing Hamilton's economic plan, then looked in more detail at the resulting Whiskey Rebellion by analyzing a secondary, a primary, and a digital timeline source.  We will use our conclusions from this activity next class as we wrap up some of the big moments of the Early Republic up to the election of 1800.

As you know, weather is unpredictable, so keep watching this blog for updates as the evening progresses!
