*Preparing for Success

Students will receive a blue study guide for each chapter. I use the study guide to create the tests. If a student misplaces his/her copy another one can be found here: Study Guides. We will also be using many different types of digital resources to enhance our learning experience as we make applications to our lives today. Occasionally, our Coast to Coast Chronicles online journal will integrate into our Social Studies lessons. Students will be assessed according to the rubric that they will create for each activity.

We alternate weeks of study with one-hour classes with Social Studies and Science. For example, the first week of school, we will study Social Studies; the second week, we will study Science. Tests are typically given on Fridays using the CPS "clicker" technology. Grades for tests will be sent home in the Weekly Folders that come home on Mondays.
