Welcome to Mr. A’s 6th grade World History class. My program of study is in three parts: 1) Content; 2) Skills; 3) Character. Listen to find out more about each one. Also, what is Smorgasbord! and ‘21’ Cool Ways To Do Homework? Can you list the FOUR main skills I emphasize in my program of study? What are some ancient civilizations that we study? What is your definition of a “God’s Kid?

This podcast was so cool!!! ;) I hope that we get to listen to more of Mr. Adam's podcasts because most teachers don't do this sort of thing. I just think that having a teacher that lets you play video games (That is, educational ones), gives you money (Of course fake), rewards you with candy (When you do something or turn something in early), and lets you keep your social studies BIG BOOK at home instead of lugging it to school every day like you have to do with bible, math, science, and especially language arts (Three pretty heavy BIG BOOKS) is pretty cool. I'm really glad Mr. 'A' is my social studies teacher! Thank you Mr. 'A' :)
