=W e lcome to Mr. Rowinski's U.S. History Class!=



=//__Getting Started, what will be taught during the school year?__//= This wiki will be used as a way for students, parents, and the teacher to keep up with what is happening inside of my U.S. History class. Your son or daughter will be learning about U.S. history with the help of a series of essential questions to guide our research. Each unit will have a different set of essential questions that will explore how things like culture, religion, politics, and differing human perspectives can help us better understand America's past, present, and future. Grades will be based on a combination of in and out of class projects, homework, reading assignments, tests or quizzes, and writing assignments/journal entries. I will be posting class assignments, class notes, test review information, and important announcements for students and parents using this wiki. Parents are welcome to use this website as a way to see what their child has been learning in class, important classroom announcements, and any assignments that are coming up in class.
 * Parents: please feel free to search around this wiki by using the navigational links located on the right hand side of the page. **
