Welcome! I am excited are you?

I was traveling this summer so I missed you at orientation. I was in the UK and Serbia. It was wonderful. I hope you all had a great summer also.
I am very excited about returning to World History after hanging out in Science for the last few years. I came to JCLP from Darnell about 5 years ago. The first year, I was in sixth grade teaching World History. The next three were in sixth grade Science. I had a great time, but my love is World History.
We will be covering Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, China, Greece and Rome. Yes, there will be homework. Yes, homework counts. I sure hope you are good at restating questions and writing complete sentences. We will be doing this a lot. I tease my students saying my job is to make your life miserable, just like your parents. I am a partner to your parents in  helping you learn how to learn and be the best you can be.
I am expecting you to be prepared on the first day with all of your school supplies.  I will be ready with all of my supplies! I will expect this every class. Then, we can learn and travel to all the magical places and civilizations in History. It should be exciting ,but just like training for the Olympics, we have to work to get there. The things we will do and the places we will go!!
I can wait to meet all of you and travel History.
