Welcome to the 2019-2020  school year. I am delighted in having your child in my Social Studies class this year and hope to provide a positive learning experience.   As a lifelong learner, I know that learning extends from my classroom to your home. If at any time you have questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to contact me or schedule a conference.  I wish you and your child a wonderful school year! Go COUGARS! 

Purpose/Course Description

  2. To master the skills that will help the student exceed the expectations of the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness

  3. To build character qualities such as integrity, respect and safety as required by Salvador Garcia Middle School. 

  4. To improve reading fluency, comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, inference and drawing conclusions, giving the student greater opportunities to achieve their goal.

Drop Everything and Read (DEAR) 

Salvador Garcia Middle School expects students to be life-long learners and readers. To facilitate this expectation, students will be reading a class novel for 10 minutes during reading and 24 minutes during 2nd period.
