Pumped 4 tomorrow, continued familiarizing with EQs in World history, more journaling too! I am just going to let discussion continue and see where it goes. Tomorrow should be the end of pure EQ discussion and the beginning of the insertion of WH content.
World Geo - we will finally be ready to own our first big idea and put it on the wall! I am hoping for one ever 1-2 days so that we are ready with our groundwork& pre-assessment within 2 weeks. Pd 10 remains a class with some people with work to do in terms of maturing and being prepared for HS. I really am sure we will get there. They did great today and will continue to improve greatly this year. PD 11 is advancing rapidly and I am proud of the way they have adapted to HS. They need to stop being afraid to be wrong! Taking risks is a huge piece of academic and life growth. I am very proud of my 7th graders, they are doing big things! If we keep focusing on constant improvement at such a young age, there is nothing that can stop us from achieving even the loftiest of goals. Remember grade 7, what is stopping you from the Ivy League? Keystone is the best school in PA, you make it that way; lets expect greatness from ourselves.
Comments on the day will come tomorrow!
I thinkit's great thay you are encouraging the seventh graders to do the same things that you are encouraging us to do. Really pushing them in this positive direction could give us that "100% have college creadits when we graduate" reality
