Welcome to Mr. Cripps’ Social Sciences Informational Site.

Welcome to Mr. Cripps’ Social

Sciences Informational

Site.

In 7th Grade Social Sciences we cover

United States history from the first Native

Americans to the start of the Civil War.

Here is my web site home page. There is a tremendous amount of

useful information there.

The information

here changes as

the year goes on.

Just click on a category

to go to that link.

I send out reminder emails every so often to people who have an email

account through School Tools.

• I will notify you about upcoming assessments and projects.

• You can email me if you have further questions.

My homework link tells what the homework is and almost all homework assignments (other than vocabulary) can be downloaded from this page.

All vocabulary sheets as well as review powerpoints are located

at my vocabulary link.

My notes link has all notes sheets given out in class as well as the notebook number and the date the notes were

given.

This is the homework board. Every Monday the homework for the week will

be on the board. You can start most assignments early if you want to. I give

multiple days for most assignments which makes it easier for kids involved

in sports and activities.

Monday average sheets – I will give students a sheet like this every

Monday to tell them their average and what assignments they know.

You owe me – this sheet will be on the front board. I update it daily. Students can check to see what

they owe.

This is the homework box. When I collect homework in class this is

where students put it.

If students are turning in homework at any time other than the beginning of class then it needs to go into this gray organizer. It is

on my counter under the television.

Sometimes students forget to put their name on their paper. When this happens, I put the

assignments here. Students need to put their name on the paper and turn it back in

so I can give them credit.

Much of my class is interactive. Students are constantly using the

Smartboard.

Every day an announcements page will be on the Smartboard when students enter the

classroom.

Almost every day we start off with 2 minutes of studying past notes. I

will tell students what to study.

The studying will be followed by 5 multiple choice questions. We usually

make it into some type of contest.

Each quarter I give a responsible student grade. It is worth 20 points. Each time they

don’t pick up after themselves or come unprepared (no pen, book, binder) they lose

5 points from this grade.

I keep extra copies of all work in the folders on this table by the door. They

are also available at my website.

I keep a binder that shows what their

binder should look like. Students can

use this before school, after

school or in study halls to keep

yourself organized.

The Student of the Week and students who do great on tests and quizzes are posted on my

front bulletin board. The Student of the Week is also posted on my website.

Every month I pick a Student of

the Month for each class. They get a

certificate and their names are

posted in my room and on my

website.

Please feel free to email me with any questions. During

the summer I check my school email occasionally so I’ll get back to you as soon

as possible.
