I use an online gradebook that will be active very shortly.  Please make sure the school has an updated e-mail address for you so I can send you a welcome e-mail soon.  The link to the grade book is: www.teacherease.com

We are studying the Constitution in class this month.  We have been reading the Constitution and talking about the responsibilities and rights of the different branches.  Below are links to different information websites and also the movie we watched in class September 17.

Welcome Back!

I am excited for the adventure we will be on this year in Social Studies!  We are going to do many fun activities and projects!  One of the things you will receive in your opening day packet is a supply list.  In Social Studies, all I ask that you have is something to write with and a spiral notebook.  The notebook is important since that is what we will be putting ALL of our work in.  If possible, start bringing your Social Studies notebook to class as soon as you get it!  If you are having trouble getting one, let me know and we'll get you one.  Two other helpful supplies for Social Studies are a glue stick and colored pencils.  I always stock the classroom at the beginning of the year, but bringing your own supplies ensures you always have what you need in class.
