Important!! Please read the following information:

*Your child will receive a syllabus at the beginning of each week. If the syllabus is lost you may go to my blog to print another copy of it. See the blog website information at the top of this syllabus.

*This will be the first full week of classes so each child should have a folder and spiral that is the same color. The folder and spiral should be purple, if at all possible. Matching materials help students to stay organized.

*Students should know the following parts of our textbook, and what material can be found or learned in each of the following parts: Table of Contents, Copyright Page, Atlas, Political Map, Physical Map, Glossary, Index, Spanish Glossary, Primary Sources Library, Chapter Focus Box, Terms, Graphic Organizer Activity, and Units.

*My students will take a short quiz on these parts of the book next Thursday, September 10th. (oops! I had the work date on my syllabus)

*A study guide will be given on this Friday. Please ask your sixth grader about it.
