November 16-20 is National Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week
To make a difference, save aluminum cans and bring them to school on Monday-Friday, November 16-20. Every Hilsman student and staff member is challenged to recycle 50 aluminum cans. Let’s create a mountain of metal at Hilsman! The money earned from the cans will be donated to the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia. Eco-friendly prizes will be given to students and staff that are "caught" recycling.

WAGGLE: Students are expected to complete at least 2 hours per week in order to get full credit for their weekly homework grade. Students who do not meet this requirement will be given a grade of 55. Students can make up that grade by doing additional time another week. Please encourage your child to spend at least 30 minutes each night completing their assignments.
Students who make a grade below 100% are expected to correct their wrong answers and re-submit for partial credit for all assignments except vocabulary tests and some on-line assessments. Corrections can be done during homeroom, ELT, lunch or after-school. Students must have their homeroom, ELT or lunch teacher's permission. Arrangements for after school must be made in advance. Students are to be picked up by 5pm.
Parents please check Campus regularly and monitor your child's grades and assignment completion. Assignments with a grade 55 and NHI in the comment box means that assignment was Not Handed In. Email me at baldwink@clarke. k12.ga.us for questions, comments and concerns.
Extra Credit
Students who reach 50% completion with a grade 70 or higher on MobyMax State Test Prep by 5 p.m. on Monday, January 4th will receive extra credit for the 2nd marking period.
Social Studies
This week in social studies we will be finishing Unit 3 Middle East History and the Middle East as a whole along with it. As I mentioned in last week's blog the Unit 3 common assessment will be given this Wednesday. Remember all unit exams are summative grades which count in the 60% category and have a tremendous impact on students' grades. A copy of study guide for this assessment which was shared with students last week is attached below and is due Tuesday at the beginning of class. I will share with students a completed study guide with correct answers after they turn in their copy on Tuesday. Thursday we will begin our largest unit of the year Unit 4 Asia Geography and this unit will be a blended learning unit meaning that it is a lot more student/self paced. It will be essential that students stay on top of each assignment if they are going to be successful with this unit. I will be sharing the Asia coachbook with them on Thursday which will be a great study resource. Thank you for your support!
