Welcome Back to School!
This semester in social studies students will be learning about World Geography. Students can expect Map Tests (labeling physical features, political units, and knowing countries and capitals), Projects (both group and individual), Quizzes, Videos and study guides, and some homework.
Most assignments will be in-class assignments - rarely will there be a take-home assignment. Most of the "homework" assigned will be studying in preparation for the map tests. We will also review for map tests daily in class.
Students were made aware of grading procedures, classroom expectations, and the fact that Ms. Francoeur (the meanest teacher in the middle school) will not be giving hall passes this year. Students have been warned/encouraged to bring all their materials to class with them every day.
*7th and 8th hours also discussed that it is the student's responsibility to plan ahead for absences due to sports.
*8th hour students... remember to have your parent sign the discipline policy form and return to your 8th hour teacher as soon as possible.
