A HITCHHIKERS GUIDE TO THE UPCOMING YEAR!
A Welcome To Parents, Students, and Academic Astronauts!
Another year at TEECS is upon us and with it comes a guarantee that this one will prove to be unlike any other! Those entering into 6th grade are about to journey with Moon Shadow as he enters into the Demon's Land, feel the fear that Edgar Allen Poe could instill in a page, and also while fall love with William Wordsworth and Dylan Thomas. We'll also hear from President Obama and Steve Jobs (unfortunately not in person), dive into Carl Hiassen's ecologically conscious mind, and get swept away in legends and myths of old.
Those in 6th grade Social Studies will be set to time travel back to the ancient civilizations. There we will learn how the Fertile Crescent has and continues to affect its region, discover the wonders of Ancient China while gazing upon the empires of India's past. We will play the role of philosophers and bureaucrats in Ancient Greece then in awe, walk through the triumphant cities of Ancient Rome.
Those in 4th grade will be asked to question how much do they really know about where they are living. New Jersey is one of this great country's proudest states and for great reasons to. With a nod to its past and a look to its future we will discover the wonders of this great state.

Which ever course that you star in this year I am sure you will be over joyed by your transition from a student tourist in the pursuit of knowledge to an academic guide for the future generations.
Sincerely,

Mr. Scott
