Home | Assignments

Welcome to my class! I love visitors!

This is going to be an exciting year for each of the grades in Middle School. We will be learning about interesting events,significant people, places, and cultures. We will be doing a variety of activities and projects in conjunction with the topics we will be covering. I cannot wait to adventure through the various topics learning all the exciting dates, times and people who have influenced our lives. Lets take off together for a terrific time in Social Studies.

Events and Announcements
The 7th grade will definitely taking their annual trip to Madison.  We are presently in Europe right now but by spring we hope to end up in Madison, Wi.
The 6th grade is presently studying "The Middle Ages" and will soon be trying their hand at making mosaics with real tiles.
The 8th grade is truly enjoying the study of the Civil War.  They even tried talking me into visiting Gettysburg for a field trip.  Mr. Danner gave us the high five on that!  All the grade levels are working hard.
The 8th grade just finished getting tangled in string.  You will have to see their creative artwork.
6th grade thoroughly enjoyed looking at themselves and drawing what they saw.... If they didn't, they drew a classmate.  I cannot tell you how many times I heard"Mrs.V.  My face doesn't look like that."

 

A riddle to add some humor in your day. 
What makes a man bald?    Why lack of hair of course!  LOL
