Social Studies
We have a brand new online textbook for 6th grade Ancient History. We will be using this text and all its many resources throughout the year as we study early man through Ancient Rome.
Grading Policies - We will have many different types of assignments, and each one will be given a point value based on its level of difficulty as well as its importance to our curriculum. Most in class or finish at home assignments will be between 10-50 points. Assessments might range from 50 for a small quiz to 150 for a major unit test. Projects also will have a wide range depending on the amount of time and effort necessary.
Homework Policy - Each assignment, whether done in school or at home will be graded based on completion and or accuracy/quality. Work is expected to be handed in on time. There are obviously exceptions in some cases.
Extra Help - I am available at a variety of times before during and after school. Any student who needs help should just set up a time with me.
