Joshua did not complete the written portion of the test during class today. Because of the standardized testing happening in school next week, it's imperative that Joshua remains on point in the curriculum. Therefore, he may complete the written portion of the test over the long weekend - as long as it doesn't interfere with his family's holiday celebration. Joshua assures me it will not.

Lesson Comments
Joshua was very tired in class today. He didn't sleep well last night. Just want to check in and see where we are re: Joshua and extended time for the AP exam. Have we gotten confirmation of this from the College Board? It will be great for Joshua going into this exam to know he has it. Thank you.
Joshua completed the first part of his Chap. 12 Test, "Milestones of the Last Century:1900 - 1950." We had some time at the end of class to review for the next testing sections on Wed. & Thurs.
