We are excited about our '08-'09 Marshall Alternative Program Learning
Community. Feel free to come visit our classroom and share in our
learning.
As we go through this year we will be learning about the history, geography,
economics, and political processes in our country. Students will be doing an
in-depth examination of
the creation of the United States Constitution and Issues About Constitutional
Rights.
Science will begin the year with a study of Ecological Principles and the ties
to Global Issues and
Sustainability. This will be followed by Geological Processes. In the winter
we will address some basic
chemistry and we'll finish the year with a unit on marine science.
The next MAP Council meeting will take place on November 3 at 7:00 in the class-
room. This is an organizing meeting. All student council reps. should
attend(Jamie, Nick, Lexie, and Jake), as well as parents that head up various
committees and anyone
else who would like to come. We will be discussing funding for the year's
projects and field school.
The next M.A.P. Parent Meeting is November 12. We will meet in the classroom
to discuss parent
volunteering and the year's funding as well as field school plans.
Congratulations to Maizy and Sam who have been selected as our
representatives to the Marshall A.S.B.
Council.
