Social Studies Essentials

For Students

 

Philosophy

Teaching and learning in the classroom is based on a partnership of trust. You must learn to trust me as your teacher as I trust you. The more positive, trusting, and open-minded our class community is, the more we will all learn and grow as people.

 

Class Materials

Have all of the following with you in class: pencils, pens, colored pencils, hand-held sharpener, pencil/pen pouch, 3 subject note book, and a folder.

 

Organization

Be sure to keep all of your papers organized neatly in your folder. You will be graded on organization regularly. Be sure to have your homework ready to review or turn in. Do not bury it in your bag!

 

Grades

To receive full points on your assignments, your work must be neat, in full sentences, written with a complete thought, accurate, and on time.
