WELCOME TO HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! • In this class, you will explore the history and stories of Washington State, learn about ancient cultures, practice your map skills, and write and express your thoughts about the world (old and new) around you. In this class, you will read, write, color, move and create projects as you learn. IN THE CLASSROOM: How will the first FIVE minutes of class start each day? Students will: • Copy into their planners the brief AGENDA and possible homework for the day from the front whiteboard. • If needed, check the MONTHLY AGENDA?PLANNER BOARD in the front of the room for any assignments he/she may have missed due to absence, lost memory, or a temporary brain freeze. • Turn in homework unless Ms. Herl has instructed otherwise • Individually, tackle a daily entry task or “ET” to the best of their ability.

SIMPLE EXPECTATIONS • You can expect Ms. Herl to believe in each student, do what is expected and to do her best, and smile. • Always bring your planner to class.
