WELCOME_to_Social_Studies
- 1. WELCOME to Social Studies 2020-2021 School Year
- 2. 5th Grade American History Throughout the fifth grade year students will be demonstrating their knowledge of The United States as they explore the early history of our continent, colonization, our fight for independence, slavery and emancipation, industrialization and up to the Cold War.
- 3. 6th Grade World History Throughout the sixth grade year students will be demonstrating their knowledge of World History as they explore the early history of the world, the ancient world, as well as the early histories of North and South America.
- 4. 6th Grade Reading Success Maker-computer program designed to help improve all areas of a student’s reading. Reading is Thinking!!!!
- 5. Vocabulary Assignments Each chapter the students will be given a vocabulary assignment in which they must copy the definitions exactly from the glossary or no credit will be given. Then they will need to use the word in a sentence and show their understanding of the word. This assignment is graded in this way to ensure the students will learn to: follow directions, pay attention to details, and to check their work before they turn it in. These are necessary skills to learn, not only as a student, but in life as well.
- 6. Notebook/Folder Each student will be required to keep all assignments in their spiral notebook and in the order in which they are received or a list given by the teacher. Every quarter (may be more often) they will be collected and graded for accuracy. This will be a significant part of their Social Studies grade. This helps the students with their organizational skills.
- 7. Google and Google Classroom We will be using Google and Google Classroom, as well as, other internet sources to research various historical events throughout the year. Google Classroom will be used for study guides, quizzes and some assignments.
- 8. For the Students: I will ALWAYS help you on assignments, don’t be afraid to ask. If you would like me to check your assignment before you turn it in. I will! However, it must be done prior to your class period and it must be turned in on time! I stay after school, so if you need extra help I am here!
- 9. Pink Slips A pink slip will be issued to students who do not complete/ turn-in an assignment. After 2 pink slips an OOPS! Note will be sent home, and 3 pink slips will result in an after school detention. The student will be given a detention for each pink slip received after the third (3rd ) one.
