Mr. Pappert’s History’s Chalkboard Page

Parents and Students,

History’s definition is

1.The study of past events, particularly in human affairs. 2. The whole series of past events connected with someone or something. This year you will be using all of your senses (Taste, Touch, Sight, Smell, and Hearing) when it come to history.

I want you to have fun in class talking about history(current and in the past) and learning new things about history you may have never knew. If you have questions, please ask. Yes, we will be taking field trips this year for history.

When you come to class, be prepared. That means having your book, writing items (pencil/pen), water bottle and lined paper to take notes. If you come to class without any of these items, you will loose participation point for the day. All assignment will be due the first thing when you come to class.

Remember on September 24th, there is a field trip for everyone at the Smithville campus to Jamesport MO.

This weeks assignments/tests/ homework will be for the following days September 21st through September 24th.
