Sixth Grade Social Studies & Language Arts
Welcome to my web page. My name is Sherry Andrews.
This is my 20th year of teaching. I teach three sections of social studies and
two sections of language arts. I taught
seventh grade literature and language arts on the seventh grade team at the
6th Grade Social Studies –
Cultures and Geography of the World
Sixth grade students will embark on an exciting
trip “Around the World in 180 Days.”
I am co-advisor with Doug
Perkins (Math and Science Enrichment) for the German Exchange Program. Each
year students from MMS are involved in a three-week exchange with Gymnasium Sarstedt,
