I am the 7th Grade Geography teacher. Along with teaching Geography, I am in charge of Hunting & Fishing Club and am the Cambria Heights Baseball Head Coach.
Geography is the study of the earth in all of its variety. We will study how geography describes the earth’s land, water, and climates, as well as places and the complex relationships between people and their environment. The goal of this class is to have a well-rounded understanding of the world and its people, and develop applicable life skills that will help students succeed as they continue their secondary education in order to prepare for life beyond the classroom. An example of these skills include reading a map, recognizing physical geographic features, analyzing informative text, and understanding cultural elements.
Students will be completing a large variety of assignments throughout the year in which points will differ. Grades will be calculated using the points earned / total points formula. Students are responsible for making up the work they missed while absent. If an assignment is not turned in on time, points will be deducted.
Lastly, I post assignments and homework on our Google Classroom page. If a student misses class, they should see Google Classroom. This is a great resource if students would need to access video links, homework, and other class materials away from school. Feel free to contact me about Google Classroom information.
