The Quick List

for Mrs. Heck’s Classroom

The entire list after the jump!

First Day Back! Welcome to High School!

Welcome to Mrs. Heck's class in Room 109! Now is the time for a fresh start, leaving behind any mistakes or mishaps from last term. It is time to step up to excitement, enrichment, and the many challenges of the coming year. I am delighted to be a part of your lives this year as we work toward personal victories in and outside the classroom.

Over the next two days, we will complete these tasks:

1. First Day on the Blog "WebQuest"
2. Join Google Drive
3. Find Your Multiple Intelligences Survey

For Homework (Due Friday):

1. Show your parents the syllabus.
2. Have your parents sign and return the Acknowledgement Sheet (!First HW grade!)
3. Sign into ClassDojo with your username and passwords.  You can even download the app on your Apple or Android products to keep track of your daily participation!

Also, check out this funny video from YouTube Vloggers Glove and Boots! A perfect recap of how to transition from summer break back to school! (NOTE: Start at 43 sec to avoid bleeped words!)

First Day--Welcome to THE BLOG!

Welcome to THE BLOG! This blog will serve to complement and support our daily class by providing duplicate materials from class, reminders and schedules, communication to parents, and links to valuable resources. Use the blog to your benefit as a "one-stop shop" of accessing my students' work.

A few key tricks to using the blog to your benefit:

1. Sign up to "Follow by Email" in the left tab. You can even have "emails" sent to your phone via text with some cell plans. Or, subscribe via an RSS feed to which you can additionally add news, entertainment, or other informational updates. If you need to create an email, use this article to choose one of the most popular, free, online mail clients.
2. Use "Labels" in the left margin to narrow the blog's content to only those posts that you need.
3. Click on hyperlinks embedded in the posts to access copies of worksheets, notes, or resources used in class.
4. There is a search bar at the top right of the page. Use that to type in key words when searching for class content.
5. Peruse the extra links for real-world content that connects our classroom learning to your extracurricular lives.
6. Leave comments or questions on individual blog posts or email me if you would like further help when you are not at school. I will answer all questions posted either place.
