US History 1 Honors

     One of the content area classes that I am taking is Us History 1 Honors.  My teacher for the class is Mrs. Gaven.  So far we have just started covering the constitution.  We are going in depth and are reviewing the different amendments and articles in the constitution.  For this class I am expecting to learn a lot and do well.  History is one of my favorite subjects and I honestly look forward to the year ahead.

             For the rest of the year I expect to learn about all of America's history that occurred after the constitution was written. I'm also excited about the fact the technology will be incorporated into the history class.  If the students needed to we can access our textbook online which makes it much easier to study for tests and do homework. I know that the projects in the class will be interesting because Mrs. Gaven just isn't a boring person.  I'm not sure exactly what field trips we are going on, but I hope that we will be visiting a few museums.  

      I know that I will have a great year in Mrs. Gaven's US History 1 Honors class.  She runs debate and is an absolutely amazing coach.  She is a great educator and really helps students if they don't understand something.  She makes sure that everyone is following what she is teaching, but one of her best traits is that she loves to joke around.  Unlike most teachers she doesn't take everything too serious and is a lot of fun.  I know I'll have a great year in Mrs. Gaven's class.
