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.

  • PARENT VOLUNTEER Info:
  •  HelpCounter will be used to register for volunteer opportunities and log your service hours. We will no longer be using the Raptor System to log your volunteer hours. All volunteer hours should be logged into HelpCounter within 48 hours. There will be a computer in the front lobby so you can log hours while you are at the school; you may also log hours at home for any PTO work, at home projects or if you forgot to log your hours while you were at school.
  • How to Set up your Account with HelpCounter
  • Please click on this  link and log in using your email address and create a password.
  • Click on 'Update Profile Information' to add your information and record your student's grade.
  • Click on 'Update Volunteer Interest Form' to indicate what types of volunteer opportunities interest you. This does not commit you, rather it allows the coordinator to see who is interested in specific opportunities.
  • If you have questions about HelpCounter or logging hours, please email me at  dcarson@aspenviewacademy. org
