This Post is for the 7th grade Utah Studies students and parents.

Just a heads up that we'll be having our first chapter final next week. September 19th is the tentative date. Also there will be a project assigned soon on mapping skills, entitled Utah Atlas Project ( attatched to this post) for parents to view. Thanks for making the first 2 1/2 weeks a pleasure, parents thank you for your support.

Study Skills tips  for students

 
Welcome Back OHMS Eagles 7th grade Utah Studies and 9th grade Earth Systems science.  Welcome to Mr. Nielsen's blog space! I hope you all had a great summer and are now ready for a great experience learning about Utah Studies and about 9th grade earth studies respectively. 

I would encourage you to check my  blog space frequently for odds and ends, schedule for assingnenet due dates and test and quiz information. I have included in the blog  post a great tool for developing a study routine. This study skills list at the top gives 8 great tips for developing successful skills that will help you become more succesful in your studies in my class. It important that students figure out a style and system that fits their abilities, and personality. Figure out which of the 8 work best for you and then implement them in your daily study routine.

If you have any questions or need my assistance, please contact me at kirk.nielsen@jordandistrict.org. I   look forward to working with and helping all of you become better citizens in your school and community through studies in Utah Studies and Earth science this year,
