It's Been a Long Time

Another year is here and it's time to do what's right.  Teach these students the importance of Business Education.  We will be posting assignments and other things that are going on in the classroom.  Currently, there are 3 grade levels that I will be teaching.

6th grade
Key Functional Components of a Computer

7th and 8th grade
Ergonomics

We are working together to get the assignments done.  Give us a few days to get things together and we will be posting.  The year will be wonderful, watch!

Probability Games Math Skills

My Homeroom is an 8th grade math skills class. Currently, we are creating Probability Games for 4th-5th grade students. They are working in groups to create this assignment. They had to search online for game ideas. This is a group project.

The rubric consisted of:
Game title
Purpose
Age group
Directions

Once they finished the games. They will switch games and play them. Next, they will give feedback to each group on how the game actually played with the directions that were given.

Below are the photos of them creating their games.

When the games are complete, I will post examples of the them.

A Start to a New Year

Good morning, this is the start of the 2011-2012 school term at "The Best Middle School in the World," Fort Middle School in Columbus, GA. There are many exciting things that we will be learning this year. For instance, those students that do not know how to type correctly will be taught that skill. Also, due to students being actively engaged with social media there will be an extensive lesson on Cyberbullying, its effects, and how to prevent it.

Each grade level will have different assignments, but overall, everyone will leave this class with the necessary skills to enter the work force, and achieve academic and personal potential.

I look forward to teaching and learning from each and every one of you! Let's start the school year out on a positive note and understand that we are all here to work together to achieve a common goal.

Enjoy your year and much success to you!

CYBER-BULLYING

In Ms. Jackson class I've learned how to make brochures. I've also learned how to make flyers. During Ms. Jackson class I've learned how to put my typing scores in excel to document the rate of my typing speed to show how I've improved my typing. Also I have learned to feel out applications to get me a job and everything in the nature of working at a bussiness.
