Hi all, moving forward to the end of another productive year at Weequahic High Schhol. HSPA results were just released and I know everyone must be anxious to find out our students scores. Although the "test" can be a total drag, I use it to measure the skill set I need to focus on in the Fall w/ my 11th and 12th graders. I try to incorporate my content, US history I & II , into the HSPA writing and math skills...it seems to help students build knowledge across content areas. What is everyone up to this summer? I am teaching the bridge program again and am putting together a series of civics lessons to help our students better understand the function of local government. I am hoping to bring the classes to the Essex County Clerks office to see local poltics in action. I hope the district approves the trip!! Hope everyone is well.. Meghan Smith:)** PS: I just completed a project for SHU and put together a Tecaher Web page. I am studying towards my SLMS certificate and created a site that can be accessed by students, teachers and parents. It is a mock up of a web page that I look forward to creaitng next year for my US I & II courses. It allows me to add any assignment, project, HW and general course info all on one easy page, with plenty of space for links and web resources. Check it out and PLEASE send me any comments or suggestions you might have for improving...the link is: www.teacherweb.com/NJ/SetonHallUniversity/SMITHM.
