Sorry I've been out. I have a horrible sinus infection and couldn't get a doctor's appointment until today. I'll be back tomorrow.
Unfortunately, that means I have no choice but to give the senior final tomorrow. It'll be a modified (read: easier) version of the test I'd planned to give, and may be open note. Please put the word out to your friends and classmates who are seniors.

Study help?
If you're struggling with number 31 on the study guide, don't worry. This is a question that's designed to make you take things you know and draw connections.
How does the United States try to pressure other countries into doing what we want? Well, how do you try to get what you want? Speaking rationally? Fighting? Paying people off? Being sneaky about it? Governments do the same thing. There's just fancy, official-sounding words for when they do it.
Go to this page to read other students' answers to this question, and to see how they were scored. You can absolutely do this. But just like always, you need to actually think first.

Remember the upside down bus? (and other news)
Hey guys!
Remember my friends Daniel and Casey, who came to school with their upside down bus to talk about putting an organic farm on the White House lawn? Some of you have been asking about them. Well, they made the front page of the Washington Post. And you met them. Very cool.
Second, Israel stopped bombing Gaza for three hours this morning, to allow aid shipments to go through. You can read about that here.
Third, if you need another copy of the final exam study guide because you lost yours or messed it up, you're going to have to print it out yourself. Email me at ms.tkjolly@gmail.com and I'll reply with the study guide attached as a file. Don't forget - 5th period's exam is Friday, 1st and 2nd periods' exams are Monday, and 4th period's exam is Tuesday.
Fourth, a 6 year old kid in Virginia wanted to go to school so badly that he stole his parents' car to get there after missing the bus. I'm not saying you should steal a car to get to school, but little dude is making you look bad.
Finally, I love watching you all get excited about current events and learning. Your faces light up, and it really makes me happy to be your teacher. Keep it up.
Cheers,
Ms. Jolly
