Hi boys and our new one girl student! I don't know about you but I miss our old "normal" routine and school day!! I miss that I don't get to see you each day and greet you as you step into my classroom or have our usual "Monday Meetings" to discuss your weekends. Hopefully, we'll be back together at school soon!!
While our school day looks much different than it used to, for now, it is still EXTREMELY important that you make your daily learning a priority. YOU are still accountable for completing your 6th grade social studies work because you still have to finish the school year. Your assignments will consist of reading the assigned Global Studies Weekly Newspaper & watching videos that go with the articles. You will also have some assignments to do with the articles you read and it is all online!!
I know we haven't used this magazine in 6th grade, but the company made it free for us to use and I actually think you'll love it!
I am going to do my very best to make this new way of learning fun & interesting for you, but remember Mrs. Haas and all of your other teachers are learning how to teach you in a way that is very different than we've ever done in our teaching careers. We can learn new things together!!!
Much Love,
Mrs. Haas
