Welcome!

Welcome to my mind!

The purpose of using this blog is to share my thoughts of the classroom and allow time for me to reflect on what is going well and what isn't going so well in the classroom. As I am asking the students to be metacognitive, I want to model this with transparency.

Please visit the blogs of the students at Government Symbaloo to view the Government classes' blogs and History Symbaloo for the American History classes' blogs! Check these out and leave a comment for the students to either provide your opinion and/or suggestions for further learning!

Feel free to comment with any questions or insight on my blog as well!

Seniors and Juniors

The Seniors have been CrAzY busy as researchers; first challenged with the assignment of creating their own essential question regarding a president. Next, they researched and developed their own conclusions to write their OWN research!  There are so many questions in which I cannot wait to see the answers!

The WWII museum is nearly completed!!  The projects will hopefully be done this week and the museum will come together this week or early next week JUST in time for the Fish Fry!  They have also created an essential question based on a WWII topic of their choice, next they explored various Web 2.0 activities, and finally used their imagination to CREATE! I cannot wait to see this unfold!
