Being social with Social Studies!!!
Good morning 6th graders and parents,
This is Mr. Angelle's first official posting on the 6th grade blog (ok, ok, you may stop applauding now, haha). I just want to wish everyone a great year and also to guage how many students and parents will be utilizing the blog this year. After you read this, let Mr. Angelle know that you have read this the next time you see him (or even better, post a reply). That's all for now. Have a great day at school students, and at work for the parents.
