A Good Start

Welcome to the 2013-2014 School Year! I trust you had a restful summer, but here we go, I full school year with plenty to learn and do! I am looking forward to a great first semester teaching American History 1 all day long! This is very exciting for me; this part of American History was my major in college: Antebellum America. It is always a great thrill to be able to use exactly what you learned in college in you everyday work.

The curriculum is new this year, a change from US History, where US History was the entire history of the United States in one semester and American History is now two semesters. In addition, it has been a while since I have specifically taught American / US History (18 to be exact), and I am looking forward to the task!

So sit back and enjoy the ride as we figure out, in part how we got to where we are by learning where we have been.

Please NOTE: The embedded vocabulary from Quizlet does not seem to be working. At this time, I am assuming it is a problem on their part, but will continue to monitor any development thereabouts to make sure it will work.
