This year is going to be a fascinating one in Social Studies.  We will become historians.   We have the new "Common Core Standards" in place in Social Studies, which will ask us to do more writing, more research, and more questioning and analyzing what we read, and what sources we read from.    Bring your questions and your thinking caps!   This is going to be a wonderful 7th grade year! 

FOR THE MOST PART, WE WILL ORGANIZE OUR WEEKS TOGETHER LIKE THIS...However, sometimes we may need to change/postpone/or extend things due to calendar conflicts, like holidays, assemblies, minimum days, and I'm sure we will all be flexible and cooperative about changes to our schedule:

                          MONDAYS

                          TUESDAYS

What/When?   WEDNESDAYS   (for quizzes, tests, assessments)

Turn-it-In        THURSDAYS         (most of our SS assignmts will be due on Thursdays)  Minimum days.

                          FRIDAYS               

There will never be homework assigned over a weekend in Social Studies.
