AP US History Success Initiative Training today and tomorrow.  Love getting trainings by Tom Sleete.  Study Books now to recruit the kids and to get them interested in all the work this going to require from me.

AP US History Sucess Institute Training in Charleston, WV today

The sound of the dryer is going, as I do my laundry to go the WV Center for Professional Development training today  Professional leave for the day, and I am looking forward to this.  Bob has worked 4 ten hour days this week, to be able to take me to the training.

Two years ago when I did this training, success with two kids passing the exam, hoping this will be the key for this year.  Thomas Sleete is wonderful at what he does, and I am so looking forward to doing more with this.

Tomorrow I return to work. The summer was so wonderful and doing the Gilder Lehrman was awesome.

Summer time is here.  Writing a big paper on Democracy in America.  Just finished one graduate class.  Tomorrow night begin Sectionalism and Civil War.  So looking forward to it.

The week of Jan. 28-Feb. 2 2013

For American history class will focus on the differences between the three different regions in the American colonies.  Also we begin looking at the Peculiar institution, and how it shaped colonial society.

Focus areas:  How were women in the colonies treated?
                      How were children regarded?
                      What was the role of religion.

Hopefully by Friday, The French and Indian War.

The challenge of this week will be to balance my home life with the two college students home,
working a full week, graduate classes,and maybe homebound tutoring too.

How much of me is there to spread out?

Loved all three of my classess today.  I really liked the American History group.  Planning on working with them on Spanish Armanda tomorrow.

Working on reading Mayflower by Nathanile Filbrick for AP US History tomorrow.  So looking forward to meeting that class tomorrow.

Teacher development meeting today. First day of the new year 2013.
