Social Studies

  • We are learning about the ancient civilizations of Greece, China and Rome.

Reminders

  • Happy New Year! We are almost halfway through this school year. Please remind your child of the expectations we have here at Bucknell and to encourage them to participate in class. We want students to show up and give their best each day! 
  • Friendly reminder to make sure students are charging their laptops at home every night. The majority of classwork is done on computers and students need to be able to access Schoology.
