Welcome!

STUDENTS! PARENTS! HISTORY NERDS! Welcome to Mr. Atcheson's History Blog. This site was created initially as a spot to showcase the works of my World Geography and American History Classes. I will continue to maintain the site to provide parents, students and anyone interested with a glimpse into my history classes. This will be a place to reference for certain homework assignments, showcase student work, discuss current and classroom events and also as a supplement for parents. Enjoy!

New School, New Year

Well, summer is almost over and the time for me to introduce myself to the Fredonia School District is nearing. I have spent the past few days putting the finishing touches on my classroom and getting more focused on curriculum for the upcoming year. I'm really excited to be in Fredonia and can't wait to get started.

As of July 28th, my Master's Degree is complete. It's been a long two years but I'm finally done and now I can get back to my passion of reading books that are not part of anybody's curriculum. I've even gone so far as to quit making excuses and start writing a story I've been quietly thinking about for five years now.

Anyway, look to this blog to be posted on a LOT more often, mostly because I'm going to begin torturing my students with it (insert maniacal laughter and hand-wringing). I'm thinking once a week I will post a link to a TrackStar assignment or have them respond to a post or something.

We'll see.
