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!
This nine weeks will go fast as we wing our way through India, China and Greece/ Rome.

Great question by a parent!!
Hi Ms. Hayden. I was looking at your website and I have a question about the Homework Rubric. One of the attributes of a "3" is the student has written the paper in cursive. The other points (2, 1, and 0) do not mention the paper having been written in cursive. If a student doesn't write in cursive, will that automatically keep them from getting a "3"? Thank you for the clarification.
The students may also type the paper on the computer. I am offering extra points for learning new skills. I know cursive and typing take longer for most sixth graders. I am encouraging these skills for students to be able to write their signature and read older documents, and learn how to type reports for upcoming projects.
These extra points help them, if they do badly on a test or miss a homework.
The grades for the point system are: 0=0=F= turn in
1=50%=F= redo for 100%
2=100%=A
3=150%=A student learned a new skill/put in extra time.
I also give homework passes for doing an extra good job in class, random act of kindness, and/or award for listening and following directions.
The home work pass is worth 100% or 2 on a homework learning assignment. Also , if you have an emergency( sick, emergency room visit,some one else in the family was sick) at home, please write me a note explaining and I can give the student more time. Things do happen, but hopefully not too many times.
Thank you for asking.
