Quizlet

Please have your student log into Canvas and join my class on Quizlet.  They will have unlimited access to all practice quizzes. I will add one for each vocabulary quiz on the day we begin that chapter.  This is an excellent tool for preparation for our vocabulary quizzes.

Welcome back for the 2022-2023 school year.  I am excited to start this year. Please be sure to check this site regularly for a glimpse at what we are doing each week.  A more detailed look at all assignments can be found by having your student use their LaunchPad to login to their Canvas account. Please be sure to check both of these sites to keep up with exactly what is going on in social studies.  I also encourage both parents and students to visit Student Progress Center often to check on grades.

I can't wait to get this great year started!!
