DEAR PARENTS, STUDENTS, FACULTY, ADMINISTRATION, ETC.:
THE FOLLOWING IS A LINK THAT DISPLAYS HOMEWORK FOR MY 6TH GRADE SOCIAL
STUDIES CLASSES. IT IS UPDATED WEEKLY, USUALLY ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON, AND IT
CONTAINS ASSIGNMENTS AND PROJECTS FOR THE WEEK TO FOLLOW. I HAVE POSTED
DIRECTIONS WHEN NECESSARY, AND I HOPE TO KEEP OUR STUDENTS REINFORCED WITH
ACTIVITIES AT HOME. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO HELP OUR STUDENTS WITH HOMEWORK AND
CONTACT ME VIA E-MAIL IF THERE ARE PROBLEMS, QUESTIONS, OR CONCERNS. I HAVE
ALSO POSTED ALL ASSIGNMENTS AND HOMEWORK FROM THE 2010-2011, 2009-2010, 2008-
2009, 2007-2008, 2006-2007, 2005-2006, 2004-2005, 2003-2004 AND THE 2002-2003
SCHOOL YEAR ON THE ANNOUNCEMENTS LINK SO THAT PARENTS AND STUDENTS CAN GET AN
IDEA AS TO HOW THE SCHOOL YEAR WILL PROGRESS. OF COURSE, WE WILL NOT BE
FOLLOWING THIS EXACTLY; HOWEVER, I FIND THAT IT IS BENEFICIAL FOR PARENTS AND
STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO GET A GLIMPSE INTO WHAT'S AHEAD. ANY DEVIATIONS WILL
BE NOTED AS NEEDED. ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND COOPERATION.
