Hello everyone! First let me say how excited i am to have each and every one of your students in my classroom. We have already had a great time and i know this year is going to be awesome.
This week we started our lessons with 7th grade exploring how and why we study history. 8th grade is discussing the emerging feeling of independence the American Colonies had growing within that leads to the war for independence.
Today, sept 11th, I took out about 40 minutes for each class and we had a discussion about the events that happened in 2001. I explain to my class each year where i was, what i was doing, and how things changed because of the tragic events. We also talk about the positives that surface as people come together during times of tragedy. We watched a great cnn ten student news segment about the event and the memorial museum in New York today as well.
Tomorrow begins NWEA So i will only be seeing my STEM apps class and one section of 7th grade history. I will catch up 1-3rd hour friday on the half day and continue with the topics above.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
