We have just completed our First Five months together in AP World, and it has been a treat. What an amazing semester we have had so far! I brag on my students all of the time, but this year's kids are special. They are energetic and fun, yet academically motivated - and always answer the call when it is time to put in the work. It has made for an incredible experience as a teacher, and I hope that the students are having as much fun as I am.We have successfully balanced the hard work with the fun. We have now taken three major exams, worked diligently on our biography project (by making "historical cereal boxes" and writing papers), and even completed a Trans-Atlantic journey (through the hallways of our school) to better grasp the 16th century Atlantic Trade System. (We traded a Robo-Cop action figure for an adorable blue penguin). We've learned to write Short Answer and Long Essays, and even had a "Vans Day" - and have kept a class history of all of it!
Next semester will inevitably bring about new challenges and adventures for us, but we will be ready to meet them all.
Thanks for a great first five months kids. I can't wait for the next!
