Dear Sea Turtles,

Welcome to my Quia Site. I am very excited about our new social studies curriculum this year,World Geography. Our theme is "Geography Rocks!" so get ready to learn as we Rock 'n' Roll around the world. I hope that you will visit my web site often; here you will find games and activities to go along with the chapters in our text book as well as the other activities we do in class. Keep in mind that we are studying a brand new course, so I'll be adding games and activities to help you learn each unit. I will also post class info as well as due dates of projects, tests and quizzes.

Here are a few tips to help you find success in sixth grade:

Be sure to come to class with your materials: binder, assignment book, completed homework, pen, sharpened pencil, a blue or black pen and a colored pen for correcting.

Please remember that when you are absent, you are responsible for making up missed work. Be sure to look at the weekly homework sheet posted on the board and to check in with me when you return to school. It is important to complete missed work as soon as possible. If you would like to review what you missed, check this site for after school extra help days.

MARS READING CLASSES:
You are responsible for:
1. having a PRB with you when you come to class
2. reading 2 hours each week at home; that's 30 minutes each day for 4 days
