Hello Parents!
Please constantly check this blog (or subscribe) for updates about what is going on in your child’s social studies classroom.
Today we discussed how to work on bellwork. Bellwork on Mondays and Wednesdays will consist of looking at 3 news topics, and 3 things from “This Day in History.” Students are then to do 5 minutes of silent reflective writing, where they write their thoughts, ideas and opinions on any of the topics presented.
This will keep the students updated with what is going on in the world, and also get them writing more.
We also went over the syllabus today, along with the parent letter. I have attached these two items. Please review it, sign BOTH, and have your child bring it into class on MONDAY (some classes I said Friday, but we have advisory activities all day Friday).
Please read the parent letter, it explains who I am and also how to subscribe to my blog.
Tomorrow we will have a pre-test on History and Geography. We will also work on some other procedures and activities.
Thank you
Mr. Piche
