Welcome to Ms. Stamper's 6th Grade Social Studies

WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL.. I am looking forward to a wonderful and exciting year. 

This week in Social Studies we will finish the Foundations of Europe. We will create our own shields in the media center using the research we find, work on key terms, we will also look at the hierarchy of the medieval times and discuss this time period as well as designing our own manors based on the hierarchy.

We will be going to the Renaissance Festival on Oct. 14th. The cost is $20 and all money and permission slips must be turned in by Oct. 3rd. If you can come help us on this trip please let me know as soon as possible. You may ride the bus with us and the only cost to you is $3.00  if you would like to buy a school lunch.
