New STUDENTS...

As of Tuesday, October 13, 2009 I have had new students in my classroom. As always, the first two to three days were spent going over expectations, procedures, and classroom rules. The students all seem to have a good solid foundation, and I am very excited about the students I have this nine-weeks!

Since acclimating the students to my classroom we have began working on our "Technology Around the Globe" project. The students are doing very well with this assignment so far, I am looking forward to seeing the finished product after all of their hard work is compiled into a very unique poster!

Parents - Feel free to contact me at jmuse@rcs.rome.ga.us with any questions or concerns that you may have beginning this new nine-week course. Feel free to scroll down and get a glimpse into the future as to what your student will be doing in my class in the upcoming weeks.

Nine-weeks Completed

We have completed our first nine weeks of school. One fourth of our school calendar has been completed.


Today we finished our toothpick bridge project. Students tested their projects by applying weight to a hanging device from the deck of the bridge. The competition was fierce and the students were excited to see their projects tested.

This was my last day with the students from the first nine weeks. Tomorrow all Connections teachers will receive our new roles and new students. I look forward to our continued improvements to the Introduction to Technology curriculum at Rome Middle School.
