On Wednesday, November 14, our class will be visiting the Egyptian Museum across the street from Hoover. Thank you to all the parents who have turned in permission slips and money so far. Also, a huge thank you to the parents who have volunteered to come as chaperones. See you at school! I will call those of you who have volunteered to update you on times and locations to meet on the day of the trip.

Social Studies Test on Friday!

Thu, 06 Sep 2012 16:00:18 +0100

Our first social studies test is tomorrow, Friday, September 7th. We have a test every single Friday. Students are receiving a study guide today that they are to have completed using their notebooks for homework. They will study the guide tonight to prepare for the test tomorrow, and they must turn in the study guide for credit before the test tomorrow. Students are allowed to use their notebooks on the test this Friday. However, the highest grade a student can receive if they use their notebooks (even if they get every question correct) is an 85% (B). If they study their guide and do not use their notebook, they can score up to 100% (A+) on the test. Good luck! We have the same routine every week for social studies so be on the lookout for your child filling out and studying their social studies study guide every Thursday night.

Current Event Homework

Thu, 30 Aug 2012 16:43:56 +0100

Every other week in social studies, students will complete a current event. This assignment will be due on that Thursday (NOT FRIDAY).

I will supply the student with three possible articles to choose from according to their interest. If they find their own article in the newspaper or online, use that, and staple it to the back of the current event sheet, then they will receive extra credit for not using an article supplied by the teacher.

Next Article Due: Thursday, September 13 (articles will be distributed the previous Monday)
