Please do not forget that the social studies book is available online. Please email me if you cannot remember your User ID and Password or if you are having any problems with the website.

The social studies information given is general information and is subject to change for various reasons. I put something on the board under homework EVERYDAY. I want the students to get in the habit of writing in, referring to, and using their agenda book EVERYDAY. Please be sure that your child is writing something under Social Studies everyday.

I give homework on Mon., Tues., and Thurs. I do not give a lot of homework, so I expect the students to do it and bring it to class the next day. I give homework to check for understanding so they are sure to understand before the day of the test. Also, homework is given to develop the various skills needed.

Each student should spend 10-15 minutes daily to review what was covered and the notes taken that day during social studies class. This can involve reading the assignment, reviewing the notes given that day, studying the vocabulary words, and using the resources available with the book online.

I encourage every student and parent to check Power School, at least, once a week. You should have received your Power School information in the mail and your student received it from their homeroom teacher. At least, two grades will be posted each week. Also, there will be graded papers in their weekly Tuesday folder. You can click the grade for a subject and it will show you the breakdown of the grade.
