Mrs. Antonuccio's Blank Study Guide - just to get you started

Science - Antonuccio and DeSimone

This is a great powerpoint that was used in Mrs. Antonuccio's class to take notes on weathering. 

Students may want to go through it one more time to review.  Students in Mrs. DeSimone's class may want to view it for just the first time.  They also might want to share it with you and tell you all about it.  It is one way to improve your knowledge when you teach it to someone else.

Social Studies Unit Test - Europe Morreale Fri 9/23 Mikhail Tues 9/27

We have been preparing study guides, playing review games in class and I do believe that in Mrs. Morreale's class we are ready to take this Social Studies test tomorrow.  Mrs. Mikhail's class will be ready by Tues.  We are just getting started as we just started reviewing our answers to the study guide today.

We will start playing our games on Friday.  Remember, you have to study a little bit every night, not just the night before a test.

Here is another form of the study guide.  You can even print them and cut them out and try to match them up or play concentration.

Good luck, and study.Download Europe Unit 1 Social Studies Test Geo, Culture and Economy Study Guide (2 column review, Flashcards, concentration game)

Awareness Bulletin - Social Studies - Mrs. Morreale's class - Sept. 11

Students have been taking notes on Europe's environmental issues and have watched several video clips discussing these issues.  They started an Awareness Bulletin small project in class today.  They chose their issue in class and began working on their rough draft for their paragraph.  They should finish their rough draft for homework. 

We will be studying religion and culture of Europe and then we will be taking the  Unit test on

Friday, Sept. 23.

Please have your child study small sections as we learn them and not wait until the unit test.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mrs. Austin 2011-2012 - Working Collaboratively with Social Studies and Science

Welcome to a brand new school year at Palmer. 8 -29 -2011            
                                                                                                        
          

 

 

It has been great so far.  Many children have already made new friends and met new teachers that they like.  You will always find your child actively engaged at Palmer Middle school!  There isn't a day that goes by that there isn't something interesting going on that they are learning and having a hands on experience.

You should be able to contact me if you have any questions or concerns at my email, sherie.austin@cobbk12.org

You may also contact the collaborative teachers that I work with this year!  Here is our email, but don't forget to go on the Cobb County School, Palmer website, and go to the individual teacher's blog for up to date information.  You should be able to put in your email, and then updates will be sent to you on most of them.   cobbk12.org/palmer
