SURVEY
Hello! Welcome to room C15, I’m Mr. Bennett and I will be your student’s guide through World History this year. A little background on myself, I was classically trained at Michigan State University. I have had a year of teaching 9th grade American History and I have also been a long term Co-teacher. I am very excited to teach, guide, and explore the history of our great nation. This is my 6th year at Kennedy Middle School, and I am excited and ready to get started. Making sure that teachers and parents work together in order to help develop student’s character, responsibility, and develop them academically. I strive to push students to realize their potential and fill it. Students will be held to a high standard in room C15, and well as on the Spartan team. For history this year students will need a spiral notebook and a folder. This is not optional, as students will be keeping track of most of their work in notebooks. Their folders should be dedicated to only American History. Please assure your student comes prepared. I look forward to a wonderful school year. If you ever have any concerns or questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you and Welcome! James R. Bennett [email protected]. |
