Utah Studies--Friday, August 28, 2009

Today in Utah Studies students finished learning about classroom procedures, rules, etc.  DUE MONDAY: Nothing, although the first learning center homework is due Sep. 16 (20 points for Periods 1, 2, 4-6; 10 points for Period 3).

PS-As some of you may have discovered, the link to my blog from the school website is temporarily down due to a redesign.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Utah Studies--Thursday, August 28, 2009

Well, I'm a bit rusty after the summer just like my students!  I forgot to post on the blog after the first day of school yesterday!

Today in all classes we talked about how the school's RATTLE rules apply to my classroom.  DUE TOMORROW: Nothing.

Tonight is Back to School Night at 6 pm at Fort Herriman!  We hope to be seeing students and parents.  Here's what I'm going to talk about at Back to School night:
1. My blog at www.shakehistoryclass.blogspot.com.
2. Learning Centers: in other words, homework
3. Rise and Stretch: in other words, how we make sure to reteach when students don't understand the first time
4. Parent Volunteers Much Appreciated: In other words, if you would be interested in helping out or even possibly teaching a lesson on 1 Wednesday or many, let me know tonight.  If you can't be here email me at matthew.shake@fortherriman.org.
