6th Grade Homeroom and History



Welcome!I would like to welcome both students and families to my classroom! This will be the 6th grade homeroom classroom for the 2014-2015 school year. Students will report to homeroom 1st period every day, doors open at 7:50AM. In homeroom we will take attendance, store personnel materials (books, notebooks, binders, etc.) and make needed announcements. This will also be the 6th grade history classroom. In 6th grade history students will dive into and explore Ancient Civilizations. We will cruise through Ancient Civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, Mesoamerica, Greece, and Rome. We will become explorers and historians as we (re)discover Ancient Civilizations!I look forward to the opportunity to work with each student this coming year!Mr. Johnson Contact Information:Teacher: Trevor JohnsonEmail: tjohnson@Website: : 714-899-1600*Please feel free to contact me by email or phone.
