Welcome to the 2018-2019 school year! 

I am looking forward to a great school year and working with you!

Welcome to my classroom website!

There are many areas to the website that I know you will find great value in. My goal is to make the website not just a tool for me, as the teacher, to connect with parents, but also a learning tool and resource for the students.

I am always looking for ways to improve the use of the website, so please feel free to e-mail me any suggestions!  dbranford@kingstoncityschools.org

Here is a little bit about each page of my website so you can navigate it better...

Classroom News - has important reminders of upcoming assessments and any general news

Unit of Study - the current topic we are studying and all of the papers received during the entire unit (this is where you can get all necessary handouts & assignments)

Current Events Articles - This section has links to articles to use for our current event assignments.

Links to Check Out - web links of videos used in class, interesting articles, and websites for preparing for the Global History and Geography Regents Exam

Resources - general class materials and important papers (course outline, rubrics, etc.)

Calendar - homeworks, quizzes, tests, and events listed on a monthly calendar

Geographic Context - maps that explain where historical developments/events take place and WHY they happen there

where this historical development/event is taking place, and WHY it is taking place there
