A note from your teacher -

I am looking forward to a wonderful school year.  Hope you are too!  We are

finally getting settled in. We will be learning a lot about various topics

in world history.  I hope by the end of the year you learn to develop a real

love of Social Studies as I do.

~ Ms. Ventricelli

HOMEWORK POLICY

It is important for students to develop a sense of responsibility and

remembering to do and bring their homework in on time is one way to

accomplish  this.  I follow the homework policy outlined in the Student

Handbook - so please read and review the handbook when it is sent home.

To receive full credit on their assignments, students need to bring all

homework in completed and on time.  Late or missing homework that does not

come in with a note from their parent(s) or guardian(s) or is the result of

an absence will not receive credit.

MATERIALS FOR MY CLASS
Materials you need for Ms. Ventricelli's class

* 3 Ring Binder (2 or 2 1/2 inch binder is the best for my class)

* (Optional:  You may want to keep your POD's - "Problem of the Day" in a 
  spiral notebook instead of your binder)
  Spiral notebook with 3 holes - not too thick - just in case you want to 
  store it in your binder.

* Pens:  I allow you to use gel pens for note taking and homework, but your
  tests/quizzes must be done in blue or black pen for full credit.

Notebook set-up
3-Ring Binder Set-Up
*  Dividers (3)-Should be labled:  Chapter Work, Skills, and Notes (put blank 
   paper in your notes section.

*  You can also use spiral notebooks for your notes and POD. If this is the 
   way you would like to set up your notebook, you will only need two 
   dividers labled Chapter Work and Skills.
