I hope everyone had a great summer, and I'm so excited about Thursday. The first day of school is always one of my favorite days of the year; it's so much fun meeting all of my new students. Throughout the year, I'll post to this blog about upcoming assignments and activities in my classes, so feel free to check in regularly.
During the first week of language arts class, we'll be getting to know one another and looking ahead to the first weeks of the year. We'll begin by focusing on grammar--parts of speech and sentence structure, to get a strong base for all the reading and writing we'll be doing throughout the year.
In history, we'll begin by discussing the question of "What is history?" and we'll take a look at the various sources of historical information. Students will take a look at how personal and national history overlap, sequencing events in a Personal and Historical Timeline.
It's going to be a great year!
