Now that most of you have Canvas access, I will be reducing my posts (and powerpoints) to one per week. You will mostly get into the habit of checking Canvas, but can check this page when necessary.

Today, I hope that most of us can finish the two assignments for points for this week. They are super easy!

 Hey Everyone,

Hope you had a restful weekend. This week we need to accomplish three main things:

  1. Apply for Shasta College
  2. Enroll in the History 2 course through Shasta College
  3. Review the Syllabus
If we do those three things, this week is considered a win! This Friday, your professor from Shasta, Aaron Maready, will be joining us. I hope to have fully reviewed the syllabus with you before his arrival.

Hey Folks,

So we didn't get through everything yesterday, so we will use today to catch up. Today we need to start unpacking some of the key pieces of our course in regards to communication. If you don't have your Chromebooks yet, you can use your cell phones.

Also, I will have some donuts to celebrate the completion of our first week. 

It was a great first week but TGIF!

August 18 - Get to Know Each Other, General Expectations, Class Nuts and Bolts...

Hey Everyone,

Even though I know that the existence of this blog is foreign to you, I type out this post nonetheless. Today we will be continuing to get comfortable with other people (and talking), creating some shared course expectations, and finally going over some information that you need to know (like this blog).

I hope day one went well and that day two and three will be even better!

See you soon,

Mr. T

August 17 - Welcome to RSA High School

Greetings Everyone,

My name is Mr. Thiemann and I am your teacher/facilitator for the History 2 course offered through Shasta College. This course will be amazing and I am grateful for the opportunity to support you every step of the way.

In these first days, I would like for us to get to know each other as people and as a class. This is a small sophomore group and I am sure that you will know each other well by the end of the school year.

See you soon,

Mr. Thiemann
