Dear Parents,
Thank you for being patient will my illness lately. I will be out for minor surgery 5 December 2014. I will be out the week after this. I have a good friend, who is my sub. She is Jo Carraro, a former engineer at ATT and Bed and Breakfast owner in Puerto Rico. She is a traveler like me and understands history. She has been subbing/teaching Spanish at Twin Lake the last few months.
My students will not start History Fair until January. I don't feel I would teach this project well before the Holidays. You may get information at www.NHD.org , you will find the rules and theme. I will give the students a packet after they return from break. I am going to try to get the students to learn some new topics and concentrate on Jacksonville and Florida history. I will have a list of people and places to help them use local resources.

Posting updated 9/21
Dear Parents,
The grades were updated on 9/21. Every paper was graded and recorded by Friday, when I left school.
Sunday, all of the grades in the book were recorded on the grade portal. Please remember, the grades may take a day to populate to your portal. My screen is very different from yours and must down load from mine to upload to your screen.
Please remember, if children didn't follow directions, not put a name on a paper, or forget to turn the paper in on time, it will take longer to grade or show up on the portal.
As a teacher, I have learned children will blame the teacher for any issues, because children love their parents and don't want to disappoint them. The children do the same to you on these same matters, if they think they are in trouble with me. We need to work as a team to find out what really happened and how to fix it. I want the best for all of my students and to prepare them for the next grade and life. I know you want the same for them. We will get them there, together.
This year I have 151 students; I want them to be treated fairly, work hard, and do the best they can. If, there is a problem, let's solve it. Children need to learn to become self directed learners.
Thank you for your trust and help
Please remember test September 26-29.
Timeline due September 25-26.

Dear Parents,
I have updated the grades. The grades may not immediately populate to your child's grade portal. Sometimes there is a day difference between my grade book and your grade portal.
Please remember I only update the grade portal once a week. I only see your child only two or three times a week. I don't always have an assignment to grade or I may have several assignments to grade. I will always work hard to return your child's papers by the next class I have them, but I may not always have them posted, since I only do this once a week.
Please feel free to contact me anytime over a grade issue. Your children all have
a rubric in their journals about my expectations. I have gone over this rubric several times to make sure they understand the way to do the work.
I am asking for the children to restate the question in the answer, write complete sentences and give evidence to support their answer. This is to help them succeed on the eighth grade writing test.
I am having trouble getting the students to take notes in their planners on how to do their work or home learning. The children seem to be relying on only my blog and not all the places the schedule is posted in the room. I am worried they don't see it as their responsibility to write information down in the classroom, when I ask if they understand a project, they reply, "just post it on the blog". This bothers me a bit. They need to learn about their responsibility to you and themselves.
Many examples of the timeline project have been given in class. I will follow here with more information.

Welcome!!
Hi Everyone!!
Welcome to Hayden's World History Blog!!
You will find Home Learning posted here and the day's plan.
I would to let parents know, i have several places in the room I post information.
The daily plan is always on the white board with the Bell ringer and Home Learning.
The World History chart lets Students know where we have been and where we are going. This information is usually posted for the week or two weeks.Students are responsible for writing their work in their planner.
The students have a table in my room with staplers, hand sanitizer, tape, hole punch,electric pencil sharpener and a place to turn in their Home Learning or make up work. Each class has their own in basket to turn their work in. work will be grade at the end of the day or by next class if possible.
The students will also have a copy of the "Rituals and Routines" and home learning grading and expectations. These should be glued into their composition books for easy reference.
Please feel free to email me, Failse@duvalschools.org. I will try to get back to you in 48 hours or less. If there is a holiday or family issue I may take longer to answer.
d
I give homework/home learning passes to my student for good deeds, good answers ,or a compliment from and another teacher or administrator. The passes must have the students name and a stamp or signature from me, and can Only be used for homework/ home learning assignments; Never for tests, quizzes or projects. The passes are great for times you have a family emergency or going out of town. The student will receive a 100 grade for the pass when they turn it in. The pass is good only for one assignment and one time.
I will pass out curriculum papers at Open House. This will enable me to go over the paper with you and answer any questions you have about the class. I tease the students by telling them "my job is make their lives miserable", This is for the occasion they complain about a project or an assignment. I tell them it is like, when your parents ask you to clean your room, empty the dishwasher, etc. As a teacher I know there will be days they love me and days they don't, it depends on the test or homework! You as a parent will survive Middle school, adolescence is hard.
Thank you!!

Welcome to my class!!
Dear Students and Parents!!
I am so excited for a new year! We have so much to do!! We will travel from the beginning of humans to Rome. We will visit Mesopotamia , Egypt, China, India,Greece, Rome, and the Indian Empires of Central and South America. We have so many interesting vocabulary words to learn, bell ringers to answers and maps to read.
Not only will be learning about Iceman, King Tuk, and Asoka, but how we can use our writing skills to explain to others; what documents really mean and primary sources help us learn more about History. Has History really change or our perception of it? My favorite phrases are why?? and prove it!!
Things to bring each day to Mrs. Hayden's class:
pencil or pen
composition book
homework or assignment
History book
paper to write on for notes or assignments
index cards for vocabulary
You will have a folder in the room for all of your returned assignments to live in
How do I know what to do?
Mrs. Hayden will have the schedule for the day posted on her white board. If, you miss an assignment. She keeps a chart with pass and future work. You will find a pattern to her class.
She will also post information on her blog and planner. She also keeps a notebook of past lesson plans, if you need to find past bell ringers and closings. It will be easy to always have your composition book in order.
What does Mrs. Hayden require on our classwork and Home Learning?
Mrs. Hayden will give each student a rubric on how to do their work. The students will need to have their names on their paper on the right hand side along with the class period and assignment page and question numbers. All students will restate their question or topic in the answer along with writing a complete sentence. The students will also give evidence to back their answer. There is hope! She offers extra credit for papers typed on the computer or written in cursive. Sometimes, she gives extra credit for well written answers above and beyond the normal expectation.
How will we know our grade?
Mrs. Hayden has a weekly goal of posting all work at least once a week. She has the goal of returning your work by the next class. Sunday is usually a good day to see if your work/grade has been updated. Mrs. Hayden stamps every paper/assignment she receives and places a grade from 1-3 in the portal. Please remember Mrs. Hayden is only human and may make a mistake. If the error is in your favor; it will not be changed. If, the error is not in your favor; please resubmit the paper with a note about the correction.
What?????? I don't understand!!
Mrs. Hayden grades all assignment and home learning ( work she considers practice) with a stamp. The stamp has three items on it:
Outstanding( otstanding according to Office Max!!)= wonderful= extra credit=3= 150%
Satisfactory= meets rubric=2=100%
Needs Improvement=student needs to correct and resubmit=1=50%
If I have not seen the paper the grade is a 0=0%
Does she really grade all papers? And reads them? Ask her former students!!
We should respect each other's work.
Special Projects?
There will be some special projects this year. One will be learning how to do History Fair required by the Social Studies Department. Other projects will be about Black History, Women's History and other wonderful learning adventures!! You can learn about History Fair at the following link www.NHD.org
I hope I have helped you learn a little about my class and expectations!! Can't wait to meet you!!

lastest update and Parents need as chaperones for several upcoming trips.
Dear Parents!
We have several upcoming Field Trips and need Chaperones. It is nice to keep groups down to 5 people. DCPS requires 1 chaperone to every 10 students. This makes for some very large groups, so 1/5 is much better. If you volunteer to chaperone, your child may pick the people for their group. I can't promise they will get all of their choices, because everyone needs a chaperone. We will do the best we can.
Field trips and dates:
1 May 2014- World Of Nations. If you have not paid for lunch ticket, I can only get you a entrance pass and parking pass.
I need 42 chaperones for all of the sixth grade.

We have several upcoming Field Trips and need Chaperones. It is nice to keep groups down to 5 people. DCPS requires 1 chaperone to every 10 students. This makes for some very large groups, so 1/5 is much better. If you volunteer to chaperone, your child may pick the people for their group. I can't promise they will get all of their choices, because everyone needs a chaperone. We will do the best we can.
Field trips and dates:
1 May 2014- World Of Nations. If you have not paid for lunch ticket, I can only get you a entrance pass and parking pass.
I need 42 chaperones for all of the sixth grade.

history fair questions from parents
Mrs. Hayden,
Where can I find examples of what goes on the History Fair Board?
Thank you for contacting me. The students saw examples in their class. It isn't as hard as putting things in the right place for Science. You can see some examples at www.NHD.org look under exhibit. He is doing an exhibit with a process paper.
The Process paper answers four questions. The process paper should have the following:
Title page
Process paper questions and answers
Bibliography
an noted bibliography
you can find examples of all of these at www.NHD.org also. There are also research sites you can link to from NHD. Other places for research are Florida nhd, Jacksonville history
you can also look at Karples and national archives websites.
Can you please clarify the History Project to me. Our student "Sample
History Fair Project Evaluation(100pts)" leads us to believe she has to
do a Process Paper, Display Board and an Oral Presentation. But, when we
look at the NHD National History Day sheet and website it tell us to
pick ONE : Documentary or Exhibit or Paper or Performance or Web Site.
What is required for 1A History class and can you
please provide a timeline. I can not tell from your blog if the
different dates are for other classes.
Thank you for emailing. The students have been working on this since January and it is due in 24 March. They are doing an exhibit, an exhibit requires a process paper, Backboard( exhibit) and she is presenting it in class. This is why the rubric has all three.
The process paper has to answer four questions in less than 500 words. All students have a copy of this and we have gone over it in class, several times. They should also have a copy of how to create the project. They have also seen several examples in class. They should have copied the timeline from the one we all did together on the board. The time line you see on my blog is the time line we are using for all classes. I made all of the students copy it in their planners. They even voted on the due date.
I have spent several days each week going over History Fair and answering all of the students questions. I have taken them to the website and showed them how to get to information. I have even showed how to research and what websites one can go to for information. I have also showed how www.NHD.org can connect to various websites and about Florida History Fair website and Jacksonville history websites. Please ask any questions and I will gladly help.
Thank you,

The best website for explaining everything is www.NHD.org . The students are only doing exhibits with process papers.
Process papers answer four questions and be only 500 words long with a title page. The papers need a bibliography and an annotated bibliography.
The first section should explain how you chose your topic. ( Non ex: Mrs. Hayden made me chose this topic)
The second section should explain how you conducted your research. ( ex: I started at the library with a book called "History Of Jacksonville".
The third section should explain how you selected your presentation category. (ex: The teacher only allowed us to do one category. I knew an exhibit could explain my project well by ............)
The fourth section should explain how your project relates to The NHD theme. ( This year the theme is rights and responsibilities)
This information has been given to all students and a list of ideas.

new schedule and History Fair
Dear Parents,
Your students have been given information about History Fair. They will be doing an exhibit only. I have encouraged the students to choose Florida/ Jacksonville History topic. The theme is "rights and responsibilities". It would be great to choose a Black History Topic or Women's History Topic from Florida or Jacksonville. This way the students can visit actual historical sites in the area for primary sources. They can get information on how to do the project at www.NHD.org
I hope to have a timeline for the project soon!
