Texas History Class Info

In SEVENTH GRADE TEXAS HISTORY, we study the story of the people, events, and ideas that shaped our state.  We can understand what Texas and its people are today only by understanding our state’s past.  Knowing that past may help us with the decisions we will need to make in our future.  Skills necessary for Texas History such as comparing/contrasting, researching, sequencing, expression of ideas, predicting, recognizing opinions, and many others will be used daily.  Your child will practice excellent written communication skills using standard grammar, spelling, sentence structure, and punctuation.

SUPPLIES FOR TEXAS HISTORY:

 Binder, 2 No. 2 pencils, 2 pens (blue or black ink) for tests, notebook paper, map (color) pencils, glue stick, 1 box of Tissues.

YOUR CHILD’S DAILY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Keep all class work in his/her notebook.  This work is the basis for tests and by keeping the work in one organized notebook it can be used as a study guide.

• Keep track of all assignments in their Daily Agenda/Planner.  This is a great way to monitor your child’s work in my class. 

• HAVE NECESSARY MATERIALS. [pen, paper, notebook/spiral, and daily agenda/planner] in class daily.

• Maintain appropriate behavior in class as detailed by teacher.  Respect for each other is imperative.  Behavior deemed inappropriate by a substitute teacher will not be accepted.  An immediate consequence will follow!  You will be informed.

• Complete his/her own work in the best possible manner.  If assistance is needed, let me know!  [Copying someone else’s work is not right….it is one example of cheating and violates the honor code.] 

• Enjoy learning about Texas History!!!
