Welome to the sedomd semester. Sorry I haven't updated this blog in a while. I met with the technology coordinator for the district and came away with the feeling that no one is actually reading this blog anyway. So let's test his theory. Please leave me a message on here.
Here's a quick update on classes.
World History Standard. I've "upped the ante" in world history class this semester. A number of students struggled with handing in assignments last semester. As a result, I've had to return to an old policy of giving academic detentions for work that is not handed in on time. Hopefully, this will help turn the semester around for some of the students who are struggling.
World History Honors. I am pleased with the second quarter grades and mid-term exams of both honors classes. There was a general trend of improvement which is common in the second quarter of freshman year. Now that everyone is settled in to the high school, I'm hoping that my students will continue to grow.
Psychology. Welcome to psychology class! We are currently learning about the history and formal approaches to psychology in an introductory unit. The first test should be in about a week.
Bye for now. I hope to hear from you soon.
