Welcome to Mrs. Connolly's History class. I have been teaching at Milford Middle School since 2004 and have a love and appreciation for the history of this beautiful community that I am eager to share with my students. My goal is to create a classroom of independent critical thinkers. Throughout the school year students will work on their research skills and argumentative writing to help develop independent thought. In addition, students will become more knowledgeable of US and World geography. We are a community and my goal is to help students learn from each other. Please come to class each day with a binder, positive attitude and an open mind.
I am looking forward to a fun and exciting year!
Mrs. Connolly
