Hello to all! I trust everyone had a fullfilling summer. September is upon us and I am both honored and excited to be your child's teacher this year. I am looking forward to meeting all the goals and challenges that are in store for us. As a general guideline...
*Sixth Grade will be using a wonderful Macmillan/McGraw-Hill series entitled "Our World" where they will be introduced to World History, Regions, Cultures, and Ancient Civilizations.
*Seventh Grade will be introduced to the Prentice Hall series entitled "The American Nation". They will be responsible for the first half of US History... from pre-history to the Constitution.
* Eighth Grade will revisit "The American Nation" text and continue the journey. BOTH SERIES HAVE A COMPANION WEBSITE... click on "Links" below to go directly to the textbook home page.
