2024-2025
Welcome! I'm very happy to be your student's teacher this year. Our study of U.S. history spans from the origins of the American Revolution to Reconstruction. The state's social studies standards include history, geography, civics, and economics.
Please check the "Parents' Corner" with information on weekly activities.
Volunteering Opportunities: If you have the time and inclination to help in our social studies class, the students and I would very much appreciate having you come. You may send me an email whenever it is convenient for you to help. You could walk around the class and help the students, work individually with small groups, describe your overseas experiences, give a demonstration, show your photographs, give a lecture, or assist us with special projects. Even if you would like to just be part of the class and observe, we would love to have you join us.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Thank you for visiting our class website!
