The students were very well behaved–almost perfect– and they really have stepped up trying to work on the the write path and the skills we talked about for two weeks. I stressed that for them to be successful in high school they will need to practice specific things in the here and now. We worked on indoor voices, note taking, quick writes [a.k.a. warm-ups], listening, writing, and Reading Like a Historian.
We worked on the Stanford Common Core content for 7th and 8th grade this week along with working on the expectations of each and every person in class. I hope the students keep it up. A few need to bring in work Monday because they forgot; we want to remember to bring our work completed at home and we want everyone to come to school. We also have a routine for our agenda books everyday of the week. I also hope to add to this every couple of weeks.
Students wanted to add the textbook link to the website and students were asked to find their textbooks and preview the chapter for the course. I also told them they might have to bring their textbooks once and a while. The room is also coming along and the students seems to like that Everyone is Living History!
Many new experiences for us in Room 27, and it went well this week. We are working to study a tough subject like history and begin creating a community to follow the social contract. Great job, everyone who participated in our scholarly endeavor, that includes all our students and families. Thank you.
