     Welcome to 7th Grade Social Studies! 
     
     I am Mr. Cunningham and I teach 7th Grade World Geography. In my class we will learn about the Geography, History, Government, and Economics of various countries in Africa and Asia.

    This year we will be using Canvas in class more than ever. It is a great resource and after last year everyone should be familiar with it. My Canvas page includes a weekly agenda on the front page so everyone will know what we are studying for the week. I will also link PowerPoints and other resources there. 
     
     
    I use Remind in order to keep everyone up to date on when we are having tests and quizes. I highly recommend that everyone sign up for it. My Remind code is @cc82h4. I also offer tutoring every Thursday morning at 7:45 in room 406 and usually also try to offer it the morning before a test.
