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!

Today marked my nineteenth Cougar Camp at Clark Middle School. I shared an introductory presentation with the students in most classes. I’m looking forward to working with this year’s group of students.

I just found this while doing something on Twitter. I’ll make my own copies and give them to students.

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.
Mrs. Johnson’s Classroom Procedures

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.

I teach in three classrooms right now. One of them is my former classroom where I taught ILA for eleven years. My students wait patiently for me to get set up, and then once I let them in, I start walking back and forth through the room surveying their work. I guess I’ve got my “running shoes” on. When it’s time to dismiss my large classes, I have been playing Rochambeau or rock, paper, scissors with one student. If I win, the students on the opposite side of the classroom leave first. If the student wins, his side leaves first when dismissal time comes. They seem to like it. More anon.

After watching my students’ FlipGrid videos, I learned a little about them. They are just precious young people, and I look forward to working with my still new-to-me kiddoes this year. It will be fun to watch them grow, learn, and work.

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!
