We are off and running! This week students have turned in all of the beginning of the years forms. A computer contract and parent letter were given out to student s to read, sign and return with a parent/guardian signature. Students also began using their I.S.N. (Interactive Student Notebook). This notebook is broken up into chapters and graded every 3-4 weeks.
Welcome back to school! After a few months of sleeping in, running, reading, and playing soccer it is now time for me to start teaching. I am excited about this new school year. I have a ton of ideas for new projects, group assignments and presentations (ok, yes even a few tests and quizes). It’s going to be a great year in Social Studies!
