KICK OFF TO A GOOD YEAR!
Welcome to the 7th grade team at Rock Hill. I am excited to have you in class and am looking forward to setting up a learning environment that will be inviting for your discovery to the past. Together, we will explore past civilizations, their cultures, their accomplishments, and their impact on our world today.
History and Science classes are teamed up in an “A” and “B” block schedule. This means, every other day you will have History class and every other day you will have Science class. We will use one binder for both classes.
Pictures will be taken during the year of many of our activities and placed online at the Rock Hill Middle School website, as well as, placed in the school news letters, in the area’s newspaper, and in the school yearbook.
Throughout the year, we will be doing several hands-on activities, including tasting foods from different cultures. Please let me know of any food allergies you may have.
To go along with the 7th grade curriculum, there are a few PG-13 movies that I show in class, which may include The Mummy; The Dragon Emperor, Wrath or Clash of the Titans, The Eagle, Gladiator, The Last Samurai, Beowolf, and Robin Hood. Several students in the 7th grade are already 13, but I would appreciate parent approval below.
If you, or your parent, have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me. My contact info is listed on the syllabus page. I look forward to kicking off another enjoyable year.
