JHS Hugemanatees: Wisdom flowing from the Sophomores

Humanitarians,

Today, we went over a new assignment...WORDS FOR NERDS (that's you, bro). It isn't due until October 6th, but we hope that you are looking for/learning new words as the nine weeks goes, not waiting until the the assignment is due.

After our discussion about W4N, we learned some great tips from the sophomores, from how to do humanities experiences to how to be successful with current events to how to take notes. We hope this was helpful, both to refresh your memories sophomores and to prepare you freshmen. Freshmen, know that the sophomores have survived this before so please feel free to ask them for help and advice.

TOMORROW IS YOUR FIRST REAL CURRENT EVENT!!!!

Tomorrow, after the current event, we will start some content - we will start at the very beginning (a very good place to start) of history.
