Announcing Rancho Dominguez's 1st Annual Canned Food Drive!
Who: RDPS students, teachers, and parents
What: Want to collect 1300 canned food items to donate
Where: Cans will go to Food Finders, which helps over 100 organizations to feed the hungry in Long Beach.
When: Bring your cans to any teacher's room by Wednesday, November 22nd
Why: Because there is a need, and Rancho Lobos try to meet the needs of the community and show compassion whenever they can!

This Thursday (period 3) and Friday (period 6) students will be taking their history tests on Mesopotamia. The study guide they receive will help them prepare. Also, I will be collecting the work from their report folders right after the test, so make sure they have all their notes, handouts, etc. ready to go! Thanks!

Just a heads up that students will be taking a periodic assessment for our narrative unit next Monday and Tuesday (if needed)

Hello all! Here's a breakdown of what's been going on in my classes this week:
Periods 2&4: Students presented their Halloween/Fall stories via Power Point in class and completed a reflection about the experience. Grades are posted, and students will receive their scores tomorrow.
Period 3: Mr. Morgan went over Sumerian religion on Monday, and students will start their Sumerian Empire reading posters in class tomorrow. 
Period 6: I went over Sumerian religion and we started our Sumerian Empire reading and posters today. We'll finish the posters on Friday and students will have weekend homework to fill in a workbook page about the accomplishments of the different empires.
Period 7: We started the initial planning for our Any Small Goodness essay. We also discussed our community project that we will work on over the next month or so.
Period 8: We closed out our work because these students will be moving to Ms. Grady as of Friday. I am sad to see this change, but I know they will be in excellent hands with Ms. Grady!
