New School Year


Welcome back to another wonderful year at Bluefield Middle School. If you are on this site it must mean that you are in my seventh grade world geography class. I just want to let you know that this is going to be a very interesting year, and I hope you are up to the challenge. Throughout the course of the year we are going to work on several different types of projects that will require you to work with your hands, think critically, and work cooperatively with your peers. I am excited to see how creative each and every one of you are in your approach to learning this year, and I hope you are just as excited.

As one of your first assignments I would like you to contact me via email (homework@mikemccormick.net) or MySpace (Mr. McCormick), and let me know who you are and what class period you are in. Communication is a key part in knowing and understanding what is going on around you and in this class I am all about helping you become more geographically aware.

Example:

Mr. McCormick,
This is John Smith and I am in your 1st period class. I missed class on Monday and wanted to know if I had any work to makeup.

Thanks,
John


Note to parents: If you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to call the school or email me personally.
