GREETINGS ! ! !

As I am sure you are aware, your child has recently acquired a new social studies teacher.  My name is Mark Stewart, and I took over the 7th grade social studies position from Mr. Eberhardt.  I have planned a thrilling and eventful school year with my classes.  We will be incorporating projects, groupwork, and other curriculum appropriate activities.

Please let me know if you have questions/comments/concerns.  My email and voicemail are now active.  Thank you !!  I am looking forward to meeting you all !!!

This week, Oct.26-30, my classes are researching African countries with the NCJourneys textbook as well as the class almanac.  They will be using this information (per capita gdp, life expectancy, literacy rate) to combine what they have learned about weather and climate in Science class.  Both Mustang and Cadillac teams have some great ideas to have the students incorporate what they know across other subject areas.  I will keep you posted on our progress!!  Thank You!!





Week Nov.2-6

My students will be learning more about the origins and the significance of the transatlantic slave trade, slave ships and also the growth of European imperialism in Africa.  We will be completing a "written letter" project, which includes a rough draft and a final copy.  Thanks.




Week Nov. 9-13

Veterans Day: Nov.11 - NO SCHOOL
During this week, my students will complete their studies of European imperialism and the independence of African nations.  The test on this information will be Tues. or Thurs. depending on block.  Students should remember to study over all notes, fact-followups, "talk-about-its", vocabulary worksheets, and journal entries.  I am looking forward to the next section of our curriculum, where we will take an in-depth look at modern day Northern Africa. Thanks.




Week Nov. 16-20

*REMINDER* All students need to return the permission form for the field trip on November 23rd (Movie: A Christmas Carol).  Fee is $3.

This week my classes will be on an A-B schedule so that they can complete a project and watch a movie in Science class.  In Social Studies, we will be taking an in-depth look at modern day North Africa, including the countries: Egypt, Morocco, Libya, and Tunisia.  We will be completing text work, vocabulary foldables, and a "create your own African country" project.  Quiz on lessons 1&2 vocabulary on Friday the 20th.



Week of Nov. 23rd & 24th

This will be a very short week, due to the 7th grade Field Trip to see the new "Christmas Carol" movie on Monday, and also the Early Release Day on Tuesday to begin the Thanksgiving Holiday break.  Reminder**** Tuesday is Street Clothes Day, where your child can bring $1 dollar to school and be able to wear non-uniform clothing.
