Introduction to Social 10, 2008 -2009

Welcome back to our new school where you will find new benches in the hallways and great trash cans! More work on the old school continued throughout the summer but the Library Office where Ms. Clark hung out was still standing on Thursday, Aug. 27th. My summer was exciting and a little wet at times. I hope your summer was fabulous. This first week is always hectic but enjoy the start of a great school year.

In Social 10 we study Canada's social and economic development since the 1800's. You will need your text and a binder. I will try to ease this start-up time by posting course information here and on my blog site. Below you will find what I expect we will cover this first week.
