Welcome to Week 22 of Gators Social Studies! I am looking forward to the journey in store for us this week. We'll be journeying back in time to Ancient Greece! This is going to be an awesome activity! Hopefully, by the end of this school year, each of you will have grown to love Social Studies and become critical thinkers! I am going to challenge each of you to reach heights you never thought you could. All I ask is that you show up each day on time, be respectful, willing to work, and give your very best effort to improve. Be great this week and remember your positive confessions! - Ms. Clark Room A-4 |
