Welcome to World history!
My name is Ms. Ally Klein and I will be your son's/daughter's teacher for the remainder of the year in world history. I have had the privilege of getting to know your child during the first semester in Mr. Portell's class, and I am thoroughly excited to be teaching this semester. Although some aspects of the class may be modified from first semester, many aspects will remain the same as first semester.
This semester we will be covering approximately seven units. There will be a homework assignment(s) almost daily; I encourage you to communicate with your child in order for homework to be completed on time. On the note of homework, I have decided to modify the homework policy in order to avoid missing assignments. I do not want failure to be an option for your child this semester. Please click on the link below to view the policy and contact me with any questions.
If at any time throughout the semester, you or your child need additional help, please let me know. I highly encourage questions in class as well. I will be in the classroom every morning at 7:00am until 2:50pm (or later). Your child may also ask for an academic advisory pass to come in for additional help.
Finally, I want to encourage communication between parents, students, and myself throughout the semester. The first stop for communication between the three of us is for both you and your child to get signed up for Edmodo. All necessary documents will be posted on Edmodo for you and your child's convenience. Feel free to contact me via email if you should have any questions or concerns. I will do my best to reply within 24 hours. You can find my email address on the "Just for Parents" tab.
