Social Studies 1865-Present
Dear 5th grade students,
This will be our first year completing United States Studies-1865-Present as a hybrid course. That means that part of the course will be online and the rest will be in class. In this course you will be continuing your study of the history of the United States, beginning with Reconstruction and continuing through the present day.
It is your responsibility to check your due dates online and stick to those dates. You are required to check the course webpage at least three times a week. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me through e-mail or in class. You can also use the google classroom discussion board to ask your classmates questions and discuss topics.
To begin you will click on the appropriate topic to the left. This will give you a brief overview of the topic. You will see links to the to-do list and each topic. There are also links to the left for each. Read the first topic and complete the first assignment. Good luck!
