Welcome Back to School!

For everyone reading this I would like to say welcome to the Geography blog and welcome back to another school year. This year is going to be a good one with lots of new and exciting material and a new emphasis on the 9th grade as the Freshman year of high school.

Hopefully students will understand the significance of this year as critical to an overall successful high school experience. Everything we do has value and a purpose and I will do my best as your teacher to convey this to each of my students. In Geography specifically we will be focusing on understanding the larger world around us. We will do that through mapping, reading, activities, and many other things. Please read the school disclosure carefully as you will need the materials listed there in our class. There is one other thing that you will most likely need. A large gum eraser for when we make maps. Relying on the eraser at the end of your pencil is usually not enough. They can be picked up for a $1.00 or less anywhere they sell craft supplies.

Looking forward to this year and very excited to be your teacher.
