EXTRA CREDIT
There is an extra credit opportunity available on the "World History Blog" under the Extra Credit tab. The assignments for this project are due on October 7, 2016. No late submissions will be accepted for any reason. Please note that regardless of the number of projects that a student completes one can only receive a maximum of 15 points. The recommendation is that students complete 3 assignments total. All students must complete the middle spot on the tic, tac, toe- then they can complete a tic, tac, toe in any direction of their choice.
Please note that instructions for accessing the blog are in an earlier blog post, should be in student's notebooks, and were reviewed several times during the first weeks of class. If students are unsure of how to access the blog they should review the earlier blog post. Please do not send emails asking for this information- use your resources to find out how to access the blog. I want students to start building their own research and problem solving skills, which means relying on themselves more and the teacher less. You have all of the skills necessary to find the information on your own.
I hope that this will help students in need of additional points!

If you have emailed me- I sent out responses this morning and will continue over the course of the day tomorrow. Please note that I will not be available over the weekend so any questions should be posed before that time.

Grades have been updated!
Students and Parents,
Below I have provided some insight into why your student might not yet be achieving a desirable grade in this course.
Course Syllabus- it could be missing altogether, in the folder for the wrong class because it was placed in the wrong bin for turning in, or turned in without a name. If your student feels that they turned it in- they should check with me by 9/9 to get this item updated. If students did not turn this assignment in at this point- it will no longer be accepted.
First Notebook Check- Students left assignment that were supposed to be in the notebook at home, students left their entire notebook at home, students were missing specific numbers in their notebooks. All notebooks can be regraded in class on 9/12 and 9/13 (this will be the only day that I am willing to dedicate to giving notebooks a second grading). Please note that notebook extensions and regrading will be offered this time only as a courtesy. In the future, notebooks should be ready for grading on the notebook check date as students understand that the check is coming 1 week in advance.
9/12 and 9/13- CHAPTER 1 TEST! Students should use their books to study. A good place to start is the Chapter Review at the end of the Chapter. The test is pulled exclusively from the book.
Mini-Project- The project never got sent, the project was never saved properly during class, the project is still incomplete. All projects can be submitted to me by 9/9. If students have not received a confirmation or they did but still did not receive a grade- they will need to see me by the end of this week. Please make sure that submissions have the group members name in the subject line- note that if you send email from a parent account - I don't know its you so I could easily overlook it when grading.
Quiz- Student never took the quiz, student received a poor grade on the quiz, student didn't complete the quiz. Take the quiz no later than 9/9 and write down your score. You will have an opportunity to tell me your score on 9/12 and 9/13 of next week for inputting. If you have not taken the quiz by this date and recorded your score- your grade will remain as is.
Please look to an earlier blog post for the link to the quiz if you no longer have it.
Timeline projects will be due on 9/14 and 9/15. Giving all students an additional day to get those turned in.
**Please note that all extension dates in this blog post are final unless a student has other arrangements with me personally. If the extension date is missed with rectifying grades- the grade posted will be final. **

Oh, the places you will go!
Welcome 6th Graders!
You just joined the ranks of some amazing students. I know that it is easier said than done, but don't be nervous! Remember that your teachers are all here to help you with everything from opening up your locker to finding the correct classroom.
I have been serving at Landon for the past 8 years. It has been an incredible journey. I have been an educator in the area of Reading, Social Studies, Leadership, Critical Thinking, and Restorative Justice. I have watched students come in as 6th graders and followed them all the way to their graduation from high school. During my time here at Landon I have taught all grades so I know what it takes at each grade level to be successful. With that being said, I will teach you this year at a challenge level that prepares you to not only be successful in 6th grade but also to be successful in 7th and 8th grade. I have no doubt that all of you have what it takes to be successful in my class and at Julia Landon.
This will be my first year teaching World History and I look forward to the journey that we will take together. Just as you all will learn from me, I will learn from you.
As you embark on your journey, here are some tips to get you started:

As you embark on your journey, here are some tips to get you started:
- Manage your time wisely (use your planner)
- Review materials daily creating study materials as you go
- Don't wait until the last minute to start large assignments and projects
- Ask questions for clarity
- Turn in work on time
- Evaluate your personal systems for effectiveness regularly- when they don't work- CHANGE!
- Always try your hardest
I look forward to meeting each and every one of you. Pack your bags, the world awaits our arrival!
Blessings,
Cormier
