Also in Wings you should notice that ALL assignments are in for the month designated by the date it was assigned on the calendar. As assignments come in I will be putting those grades in. So if a student turns in something that is not due for weeks you will see it in their grades rather than the student holding on to them for weeks.
Please let me know how this goes!
Middle School US History:
Students were given books on Monday...PLEASE keep these books at home! They are not only heavy but they should be used as a reference for their homework assignments!
I asked the students to select ANY 20 year time span in their textbook and highlight major Political and Social events that occurred. Political events on the top of their timeline and social events on the bottom. From this timeline they should then select ONE event that they feel they know a lot about and they should describe in detail this event!
Middle School Language Arts:
This class is now an hour and 30 minutes but it will be filled with activities and we will be switching from one topic to another quite quickly so the students should NOT be bored!!
Students should have gone to the library and select a book to read...The students should bring their reading book to class everyday!!
For the first month we are really going to focus on 6 Trait writing...here is a GREAT website for you to go over with your student in case there are any questions: http://www.aea11.k12.ia.us/curriculum/6_traits/information.html
High School Language Arts:
This class is now an hour and 30 minutes but it will be filled with activities and we will be switching from one topic to another quite quickly so the students should NOT be bored!!
We are going to be looking at a variety of writing thise semester and we are going to be balancing that with solid literature selections that the students will select. I have given the students a list of SUGGESTED reading titles but since the class contains 9th through 12th graders PLEASE go through this list with your student to make sure they are making appropriate decisions about their reading.
The students should bring their reading book to class everyday!!
High School Psychology
This class will be a fascinating look into not only the study of psychology but will give the students a chance to meet real life psychologists and ask them questions. We will be utilizing a variety of sources to look into the history of psychology, the founding fathers of psychologists as well as a number of activities that they will be doing at home to have a complete introduction to Psychology!!
The students in this class DO need to bring their book to class everyday!
