The students are working on their 4th social studies unit for the year. They have moved from European exploration of the Americas to settlement and colonization. The study has become more focused on the 13 English colonies and their interactions with the Native American groups in those areas. Therefore, the students will continue to use all of the information they learned from our first two units on the Northeast and Southeast Regions' geography and Native American cultures in those areas to fully absorb their new learning. Video viewing, note-taking, textbook reading, research, writing, and projects will all be tools for the students to learn and demonstrate their learning.
The students continue to work on always being prepared for class. Therefore, they must focus on bringing all necessary supplies. Having everything they need at hand truly helps the students stay organized, learn better, and be more productive. This includes a pencil, a binder, a charged Chromebook, and most importantly polite manners and a positive attitude.
Please keep an eye on your child's Google Classrooms for each of their subjects. All grades will be posted in Realtime. Use the parent/student portal to access updates. We check our grades in class, but I invite you and your child to check grades and assignments regularly at home.
Thank you!
