I woke up bright and early for the new school year. My classroom is set up, and I will officially meet my new students today. I made sure my presentations were spot on. I will be encouraging students and parents to join the World Cultures Remind group for the 2024-2025 year. You can do so by clicking this link. World Cultures Remind

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.

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.

Just in case you were still a bit iffy about navigating Canvas, here is a presentation you can use.

Here we go into the new school year. We will be working on social studies and focus on the cultures of the world and geography. Be ready to learn something new, review things you already knew, or find yourselves somewhere in between.

Dear Students and Parents,
I welcome you to my class for the 2012-2013 school year. We work together in ILA or integrated language arts for a two-hour class block on a daily basis. As a result, I spend a great deal of time with my students. We looked at policies and procedures on Monday. Today found us writing about the importance of reading and writing. I have asked them to bring a binder with dividers (five) for my class. Tomorrow, I will be organizing the ones who have their binders and dividers with them.
On-level parents, if your student brought home a bright blue syllabus signature sheet, but you haven’t signed it yet, please do since that is the primary way I build my class email lists to contact you.
Pre-AP parents, your syllabus sheet for my class is salmon-colored. I would like them by Friday, August 31 to make sure that my first email goes out this week and reaches the proper destination.
Thanks in advance for your help and support as we journey through the world of literature, language, and learning today. Ask your kids what I wore for writing time today. Extra bonus points for those who remembered what I said about writing and my item I wore today! Take care, and God bless!

P. S. I snapped some photos of the kids in class today. They looked so adorable!
If you want to set up notebook dividers for your English binder, here is the order:
Warm-ups (DOL)
Grammar (Grammar notes)
Writing (Writing notes)
Graded work
Novel study (PAP only)
Remember that these are optional for your kids to keep my classwork papers organized. Have a great weekend!
