Dear Students and Parents, 

We are finally back to regular classes this week with a few minor changes. The classes on the 6th grade hallway have been swapped with 8th grade so that they can use our wing for remediation. My class has been relocated to the media center.

We do not have a 6th grade social studies GMAS this year but we do have a SGM, or student growth measure. Students took a pre-test earlier in August and will take that same test on May 12 to measure how much students have learned in social studies this year under my instruction.

This week we will pick back up with our history unit.

This week's lesson plans:

Monday: Conquistadors notes and video clips

Tuesday: Choice activity (1) Aztec treasure map or (2) Conquistador story boxes

Wednesday: Australian history notes and video clips + Aboriginal perspective writing

Thursday: Latin American independence springy foldable + video clips

Friday: Canada history and culture Cornell notes + video 

HOMEWORK: SGM Prep Questions due FRIDAY
