About the Course Calendar on Google

I have tentatively planned out the school year in Google. Anything more than a few days out is subject to change, though the project due dates are unlikely to be altered.

Course Calendar Updated

I have updated the course calendar and embedded it at the bottom of this page.

Board Cam: Important Dates

Important dates are posted on the board to the right in my classroom. Students are expected to check that board daily for updates and note any information provided in their agendas.

The board says:
"Due dates:
- Art Map of Louisiana -- 2nd October
- Research Paper -- 30th October
- Topic & category due 2nd September
- Social Studies Fair Display and Oral Presentation due 13 January 2007"

The papers on the board are the grade-level expectations (GLEs) we will address in the first week. They are GLEs #1 and #70. GLE #1, which we address through a presentation and assignment, is "Use time zones in the United States or the International Date Line to interpret a map or representation of a globe and calculate current times in different places." GLE #70, which we address through the Social Studies Fair research paper, states "Conduct historical research using a variety of resources, and evaluate those resources, to answer historical questions related to Louisiana history."
