Welcome everyone!
Parents, guardians, students- welcome to our 11th grade U.S History Social H.U.B! This online space is created for all of my students and their families to access materials and to gather information needed to ensure students academic success! What does "H.U.B" stand for? It means:
H: Helpful hints and helping others.
U: Understanding content and materials

Parents and guardians, please feel free to take a look around this space and get to know what your student is learning in our class! You'll find our unit schedule, assignments we're currently working on, and future goals we're working towards!
Our Classroom Constitution
On the first day of class, our students put together a list of preambles to help their understanding of how the U.S Constitution works, all while shaping and designing what their learning experience should look like!
In our class, we promise to:
1) Be respectful of each other and their opinions.
2) Always be responsible for our actions and for our words.
3) Never give up and be open to try new things, even if we don't
understand or if we're wrong.
4) Always be honest and show integrity in our work.
5) To have a positive attitude and to help others be positive in the
classroom.
