American History Units Fall • U.S. Regions and Geography • Exploration & Colonization • Causes of the American Revolution • American Revolution • Constitution and A New Government Spring • Westward Expansion • Growth of Industry and Agriculture • Reform • Sectionalism, Civil War and Reconstruction • 20th Century and Modern America

  5. States and Capitals • 5th graders are responsible for learning the 50 states and capitals. We break them into four sets, one each nine weeks, to make it easier. • Students should study states and capitals for 10-15 minutes a few times a week. • They have resources in Google Classroom and their INB to help.

  6. Google Classroom Most work, unit materials, and extra study resources can be found in Google Classroom. Go to: classroom.google.com Sign in with your TISD email: • Username: StudentID#@elem.tomballschools.net • Password: tisdbirthdate (Example: tisd02022006) If you are signed into a personal Gmail account, you must sign out and sign in with your TISD account (directions above).

  7. Homework Your child will not receive regular nightly homework in my class. Any homework will be in the form of projects, test reviews, and classwork they did not finish. However, they should be studying the states and capitals at home a few times a week. Tutoring I offer tutoring Monday and Wednesday mornings at 7:20. Your child is responsible for signing up for tutoring and getting a pass. Tutoring is offered Monday and Wednesday mornings with Mr. Kelley.

  8. Supplies Needed Composition Book (INB) Pencils/Sharpener Colored Pencils Glue Sticks Scissors Erasers I recommend buying extra glue sticks, pencils, and scissors now, while supplies are on clearance. Your child will need more by December.
