Mr.d'E's Class
This site gives students a starting point and overview of what we will do in class. It also allows parents a glimpse into my classroom so they have a sense of what their children are doing in class on a day-to-day basis. It is my hope that parents will gain greater insight and the information will inspire greater conversation about class at home.
NOTE: Links to Google Classroom, Google Docs, or other Google Apps for Education will require students to log in to their school accounts.
NOTE: Due to the drop period in our schedule, there are times that your student might be working on a previous day's agenda. That will be noted in the post.
To find what you missed due to an absence, search for the month and day (ex: "November 28")
WAITING ACTIVITIES
If you are ever waiting for a direction, please work on a SideQuest (wall / GClassroom) or this Google Maps Scavenger Hunt or create a meme for one of our social studies topics from the year.
The purpose of Sidequests is the extend your understanding of social studies topics.
