Good Morning Social Studies Students and Parents!!

Welcome to Monday, March 23/20 

As we move forward with our remote learning, I will be providing resources through my Moodle site, which is available on the Blackgold Engaging Learning Site.  Daily lessons and communication will be done via email, phone calls, Google Classroom, and video conferences using "Zoom" for each of my classes. You will receive an invite via email later this week.

Most of you will be picking up your locker contents/textbooks today and getting reorganized with you class materials.

Today, your task will be to log onto my Moodle site, and get familiar with the contents.  You will find a copy of the textbook chapter, and many of the materials you have already received.

Please make a digital folder where you may keep your downloaded materials.

My hours for availability are: 9:30-11:30 am and 1:00 - 2:30 pm, but feel free to email me as needed.Students: please go to Google Classroom for directions on how to log on to Moodle.
