What will we LEARN?

I am super excited to begin teaching this course. It is a new

Social Studies elective course offered. The course will be
project-based and student centered, including many hands-on
activities. We will focus on the rich history and culture of the
great continent of Africa. We will learn from the past and learn
to embrace and protect the future.

I encourage ALL of my
students AND parents
to sign up for REMIND.

EMAILS, or BOTH. I
send weekly updates

CELL PHONES and BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE (B.Y.O.D.)

We are officially a B.Y.O.D. school. This means, students, may bring and use their own
devices in classes daily, upon teacher discretion. Inappropriate use will result in
consequences via teacher and/or school. For a daily tech grade (not mandatory), students
will place their devices face down on the top of the globe on their desks. This is worth 2
points /day for an extra 100 point grade each nine weeks.
