Sixth Grade: Plus 5

Dear Sixth & Seventh Grade Students (& Parents):

This has been a successful school year in World Geography. We have studied the Earth, timelines, the government of Canada, North Africa and Southwest Asia, Southern Asia, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the first phase of European History. All of these topics, represent learning at the finest level of education. To reward your progress, you may now offer an educated response to the ignorant and the base. And I, Mr. Amaye-Obu, will offer you this final reward, five extra points on your final grade.

Final exams will commence in the final week of the 2010-2011 school year. Period 1, 2, & 6, will have the privilege to celebrate with the movie, Willow produced by George Lucas (rated G). 7th Grade will view the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles produced by Steven Barron or The Mighty Ducks written by Steven Brill. Any parents, who will not like their child to watch the above films, please send the student with advance notice and I will remove the student with a separate assignment.

Finally, education and school is about learning the social, intellectual, political, and economic standards of the surrounding society. Our society, the United States (Florida) will educate our children to the best standards. And I, Mr. Amaye-Obu expect excellence and when nothing else can be given, I will say, "good job." Enjoy your summer vacation. And remember, "to think without study is futile. To study without learning is dangerous -Confucious 551 BCE."

Sincerely,
              Mr. Amaye-Obu
