On Friday, August 11, we took time to organize our notebooks aka binders. Students were asked to bring in five dividers. Here are the names for those labeling at home.
Our course has ten units, so we will put our notes for each unit under one of the five categories where it belongs. Thanks to the more than 90 percent who took care of business on Friday. Woohoo!

Students should have already brought a three-ring notebook for my class. It should have dividers. We will only use five of them for the year. This is simply an organization strategy to prevent what I call “the crazy eyes” like my old buddy Kaa here.

I’ve created the World Cultures Daily Agenda for students and parents to reference. It is updated four times per week. Take care of yourselves. Be kind, and do good!

Happy Friday! I’m including a link to my classroom procedures, or how we do class at Chez Moi. It’s a live document that will updated as needed.

There are twenty-nine days left in the school year. Keep on target; turn in your assignments on time, completely finished. Check your HAC at least once or twice a week.

We are taking a quiz on Friday, December 11. It covers material learned this week. Please look over it multiple times to help information retention.

Yep, I can write backwards, too!
We are learning virtually right now for the first three weeks whether parents opted for in person or virtual academy. As a result, I use Zoom to conduct my classes. Today I wanted to demonstrate the words “push” and “pull” factors. I realized I had to write them backwards so they would mirror properly on my Chromebook. Education is always learning and trying something you didn’t realize you could do. I will add this to my skill set. My virtual academy kids will get a kick out of seeing how well I write backwards one day soon. More anon.

I’ve started doing some work to prepare for returning to school. I attended a workshop on Tuesday, and yesterday found me starting to go through the curriculum updates. I will sit down later to go through more of the updates but am pacing myself. Next week will find me working on my classroom with out new furniture. It will be cool to do some decorating. More anon.

We’ve had to implement distance learning, and it’s not quite the same for me. I miss seeing my students’ faces, hearing their voices, and talking to them in person face-to-face. Most kids have adapted to the new system and taken care of assignments. I have used Zoom, Remind, and Google Classroom along with emails and daily videos to stay in touch. We can finish strongly! Take care, be kind, and do good!
