Welcome to Middle School! What a great first day!! Students know that they should return to school each day with a their CHARGED Chromebook!

Please send your student every day with a SPILL PROOF water bottle labeled with their first and last name.

In 6th grade, students are encouraged to bring a healthy snack to school. We have our snack at the start of second period each day.

Classroom (HISTORY) Notes:

6th Grade History Classroom General Information:

Welcome to 6th Grade/Middle School!
GOOGLE CLASSROOM will be up and running by the first day of school. At that time, students will be invited to their History Class with their AVA email address.
The format for all student emails is as follows: Last Name - First Initial of First Name - First Initial of Middle Name. Example: [email protected]
- Students will assemble their first History Unit, "World Deserts," packets in their red (history) folder.
- Students will use their packet (red folder) each day for classwork and homework.
- They will also use their Chromebook to connect with Google Classroom, as some history assignments will be turned in electronically.
- If students are absent, I post a summary of each day in Google Classroom under the title, "Daily Class Summary."

World History Textbook Info:
- Each unit we study in 6th grade World History has its own Student Reader (book). In class we use a "hard copy" of the book. However, each history "book" is available online; the link will be posted here and in Google Classroom FOR AT HOME/OUT OF CLASS WORK.
- Link for World Deserts Student Reader (Text Book)
- I have also created an audio version of each chapter, which can also be found in Google Classroom.
