Today is exactly 5 weeks before election day.  Students reviewed some basic facts about the US government and then read about and discussed the candidates running for senator in Oregon (Jeff Merkley and Monica Wehby). Finally the classes voted on who they would choose as senator.  If the election included Cleveland Freshman, I think it's safe to say that Mr. Merkley would win in a landslide. We also looked at the polls for Oregon and for the overall control of the Senate.

Students had the remainder of the class period to work on their French Revolution Storybooks.

Remember the storybooks are due on Thursday, which is the same day that we will turn in logbooks and take the French Revolution test.
