Social Studies:  Reconstruction quiz has been postponed to Tuesday. After that, we are focusing on the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad and how that impacted the U.S economically and in other ways.

Exhibition:

We are wrapping up revisions & edits to research papers and will begin working on presentation supports. Each group will need a trifold board (and any extra supplies you may want to create an eye-catching board)(preferably by Monday, 4/22), these can be purchased at Office Depot, Staples, Target, etc. I suggest that if one group member makes the purchase, other group members chip in $1-2 to cover the cost.
