Mrs. Walker's 6th Social Studies

Blackmon Road Middle School

**Helpful Hint: We will use the text as a resource as we work through the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS)...so we will not go in order through the book. Please note the Chapter and section number...in order to know where we are getting our material! Thanks for your support! We have a great group of 6th graders this year.

*** We will routinely have a quiz each Thursday! Your smart starts serve as a great study guide!
