We have an extra set to use here in the classroom. • 3 Subject notebook: all homework and notes should be completed in the notebook. • Organized binder • Textbook Website: games, audio, quizzes • Always come to class with assignment notebook!

  3. Homework • Students can expect to have Social Studies homework nightly. • Homework may include: Reading from the textbook, taking notes, answering practice questions, making flashcards, working on a project, etc. • Completed homework is necessary for your child to get the most out of the Social Studies lesson/ activity for the day. • If homework is incomplete I will circle the assignment in the agenda. • Missing homework multiple times will result in a recess detention.

  4. Projects • 3 major country projects this year: Current Events, Culture, and Flora/ Fauna • Students are assigned the same country all year • Rubrics are given and students receive an overall project grade, as well as a presentation grade • Projects are typically done on powerpoint, poster board, or Prezi. • Students sign up for presentation dates and will know far in advance. • We will also do multiple projects in class, some which may require at home work.
