You have arrived at the Discovery Middle School social studies 6th grade blog and web page administered by Jennifer Cobb and Randy Hogue. These pages and blogs are dedicated to assisting students and parents in the efforts to keep up with not only what is going on class but also to serve as a resource to accompany our study of Greece, Rome, and the Western World.

Thursday - Day Two
So, here is what went on today. We began sharing our 3-item bags with the class and attempted to introduce ourselves using items from home that best expressed ourselves. About 1/2 of the students in class had a chance to share and tomorrow, the rest will share. If you shared, you may take your bag home. If you have not or forgot to bring it in, you need to do so tomorrow (Friday). That will be the final day of sharing of the 3-item bags. We also began, and some classes completed, the T-Shirt activity in which you were to express yourself again only this time through art and drawing. Make sure you place your period number on the back before you turn yours in. Most classes will get a little time Friday to make your finale additions to your t-shirt. Remember, these will be placed on the wall in the hall for your friends to see as we will all be "Hanging Out" together!
In these first few days we have and will be going over procedures and what we expect to happen in that area each day. So far, I believe we have had two great days as the school year has gotten under way. Again, we are glad you are here and get ready to have a blast at Discovery and especially in Social Studies.
