We had a great week last week. Our team finished up the Tennessee unit, and I'm happy to say that in all of the years I have taught this Tennessee unit, never have so many students made an "A" on the final test! I am continuously amazed by this group! 99.9 percent of our team walked away with an A+ on this comprehensive assessment, in addition to all of the perfect scores on the three quizzes prior to the final test. I just couldn't be prouder of this great group!
One of the primary contributing factors to our continued success over the past four weeks appears to be the cohesive manner in which our Peer Support Teams continue to work and grow together. I only wish our parents could witness the amazing way students are reaching out to help each other to ensure the success of their groups! It is truly a thing of beauty every single day, and has rejuvenated my love of teaching this year!
This week we will immerse ourselves in the issues of migration and immigration. There is a new blog I created this weekend to accommodate a more in-depth look at the topics that is now listed in my list of teaching blogs on the this gateway page to all the blogs. We will spend all day Monday and all day Friday with Mrs. Murphy's classes in the library, where Ms. Rummage will conduct immigration programs for our students. We will review and test on the most important points of this information on the Tuesday prior to Thanksgiving break next week.
When we return from Thanksgiving, our focus will be the unit we call the Human Imprint on the Environent. That unit covers such issues as urbanization, deforestation, pollution etc. It is always an interesting unit for the students and we have many great activities associated with the material.
I hope everyone has a great week coming up; I know the students and I will.
