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.

Class Supplies
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.

Keeping Up When Away
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!

Hang in There!
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.

Did you prepare?
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.

Mrs. J Has Skills!
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.

Rumblings
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.
