 Mr. DiSantis

 

Welcome to the website for Mr. DiSantis. Above, you will find a table that has the week's homework in it. To the left are a list of links that you may find helpful for class or will have general information in it. The goal is to have a link for each subject where you will be able to find documents used in class, supplemental video clips, and/or additional work that will help further enhance your studies in class. Social Studies can be as fun or as boring as you'd like it to be. IF you want this to be a fun year, look a little deeper into the information. Grab a book (they're usually rectangular in shape and have a whole bunch of papers bound in them) and read a little. Other worlds are out there calling for your attention. The world is bigger than Penns Grove/Carney's Point, New Jersey, the United States, North America, the Western Hemisphere, etc. Stories can come from all around us that will constantly make learning about where we came from and where we are going more fun.

 

“It's crazy isn't it?" She shook her head. "You have to believe it, but you hate it. I don't have to believe it, and I think it's beautiful." She shook her head again. "It's crazy.”
Katherine Paterson, Bridge to Terabithia

 

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
Winston S. Churchill

 

“I'm a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn't have the heart to let him down.”
Abraham Lincoln

 

“The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing. ”
Walt Disney Company

 

“It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.”
Leonardo da Vinci

 

“The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.”
Vince Lombardi
