Welcome!

Welcome to 8th grade U. S. History! It's going to be an exciting year!

At this time, please go to mail.google.com and sign up for an account if you don't already have a gmail account. This blog will occasionally be interactive, and in order to comment, you must have an account! Once you have registered for a gmail account, KEEP UP WITH YOUR LOGIN INFO! I won't be able to access the account for you, so it's up to you to remember! Once you have registered, you might want to "become a follower" of this blog, so you will receive an email every time I post a new blog entry!




For this first week of school, please remember a couple of things...

Your Interactive Notebook is the MOST important tool you have for U. S. History. In order to keep your interactive notebook, you need a COMPOSITION NOTEBOOK! Please bring that to class by WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25th!

So, to sum it up...due this week:
Wednesday, 8/25: Composition Notebook for Interactive Notebook
Friday, 8/27: Signed syllabus
Friday, 8/27: Make sure I.N. is up to date before you arrive to class for a QUIZ (the quiz will be open note IF your I.N. is up to date!)

One tool I will use for assignments every once in a while is Wall Wisher. I would like everyone to try it out now for a "trial run." Go to: http://www.wallwisher.com/wall/intro101, read the prompts, and create your post in response to the question asked. Only post ONCE (it won't show up immediately), and we will review tomorrow!!!
