Hello all,

Sorry I am a day late posting; I usually like to give a weekly overview on Monday. This week we will be learning about early American explorers then moving on to the 13 colonies. There is a packet for each class to complete for homework that is due Friday. Today we labeled the NE region of the United States. There will be a quiz next week on this region. Students will be expected to use a word bank and place the states on a blank map. Here is a map below to practice. Tonight, some students may need to finish their Explorers Research assignment from class today. It is located in their Google Drive and I plan to grade it.

On that note, I have been informed that the parent portal on PowerSchool is now open!!! You may stop by the office and get a password so you can view your child's attendance and  grades frequently instead of having to wait for progress reports or report cards. More information about PowerSchool is located on the NCS website under the parent tab. I'm excited to have this new feature and am hoping parents will use this resource often.

Friday in class students will have a research day for their ABC State Project. I have asked them to work on their in Google Drive so it can be accessible at home and at school. Just a reminder because some students have not done that yet.

Always remember if you have any questions, concerns, or comments I'm just an email away!
