7th and 8th grade

This week we have implemented a new learning strategy. It involves the students working together to create summaries of each portion of the material. This allows them to have multiple exposures and focuses on multiple portions of the brain. They will see it, hear it, say it, and write it several times. the goal is to increase the exposures giving them the opportunity to better understand and learn the material. Notes are still required off the blog. The summaries will be collected and returned. Study guides and state standards will also be give out at the beginning of each chapter. I want the students to understand why they are learning what they are learning.

So far it was been working well. Your students have embraced this new style of learning and appear to be having a good time learning and teaching.

Parents if you have any questions about the changes please ask you student or shoot me an email or a call.

Thanks you so much
Mr. Clark
