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.
