Welcome!

Dear Students and Parents,

Welcome to my Blog! First and foremost, let me say that I am very excited about the opportunity to work with you all this semester. I am a personal believer that an education is the most valuable asset that a person can possess. My goal is to make learning about Classical and Medieval History interesting and exciting. Expect to be challenged. Throughout my education, I know that the more I struggled to grasp a concept, the more excited I was when I finally understood it. I want to do the same for you; engage your mind, make you think hard, and most importantly, help you make connections between what we learn and your daily lives.

For example, the first history text was written by a man in Ancient Greece named Herodotus. Today, a teacher named Miss Hornaday will start creating a history about your semester. Pretty cool, isn't it? You can check this blog for a variety of things that will guide our semester: Powerpoint presentations, assignments, readings, interesting websites and more! It will be my goal to update this blog everyday. You can visit it to check what your homework assignment is, print off Powerpoint slides to take notes on in class, or just browse.

I hope that you will use it, and that it will make the semester run smoothly for you.

Best wishes,

Miss Hornaday
