First, I hope that today went well for you all and I know there were some problems with books and I promise that it will all be dealt with in time. This first week will be a little strange because of the circumstances, but please deal with it appropriately.
I hope the citizenship test did not throw you for a loop. The purpose for this is to gauge what you already know about US Government. I hope every thing is running smoothly and I can't wait to get back to class.
Hints: There are several questions that are difficult on the test. Just a few that might help...
Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court is John Roberts
There are 100 members to the US Senate (easy) and 435 member to the House of Representatives.
Our Mayor of Midland is Wes Perry
Oh, also the question that asks if you know the original thirteen colonies is not a yes or no question it means if you know them then list them. You must get all thirteen to get credit.
Have a wonderful time. This class is difficult, but it is (if you let it) very worthwhile!

DAY 1
Hello,
Thank you for logging on to my blog. I hope your first day of class went well and I hope that this blog will serve as a learning tool for the rest of the school year. It is odd that I am not here for the beginning of school. It is a very crucial time and your conceptualizations of a course are usually made during this week, but you should have enough to do this week (mind you I don't give busy work).
Questions:
Do you need to check this blog regularly? In short YES
Will there be assignments posted on the blog? YES
Will there be helpful hints and information that I can access on the blog? YES
(for example: Tomorrow I said you would be taking a TEST. So to help you out I will tell you what the test is going to be over. Tomorrow you will be taking a United States Citizenship/Naturalization Test. To help study for this, do a search on citizenship tests and I'm sure you will be able to find an old version of the US Citizenship test with 100 questions. Look it over and do well tomorrow)
