When you hear black people say we have to work twice as hard to get half as much as white folks, this is what we mean.

WMHS it's almost course selection time! Are you trying to decide what awesome history elective to take next year? Check out our course descriptions and videos to help you make an informed decision! https://t.co/Ja8pYzo0dO Look under "Course Offerings"

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!! Be safe and smart. I'm looking forward to "seeing" my students next week and hoping some take advantage of the much needed extra credit (check Classroom).

[Mr. Toomey's History @Mr_Toomey]

To those who've done well with hybrid school so far, I'm proud of your efforts. It's definitely been a challenge for all of us! To those that struggled, please learn from your mistakes & have a better Term 2. I know you can do it! Work on the life skills I've been promoting.

To many of my 10th/11th graders, best of luck on the PSAT's today. 10th Graders - send me a rough draft of your 1920s Project that's due Monday. 11th Graders - make sure you've looked at and/or started Assignment #2 (posted on Monday).

[Mr. Toomey's History @Mr_Toomey]

10CP - take advantage of the long weekend to continue working on your 1920s America assignment. At this point, you should be close to done w/ reading, watching, learning all the info & should be starting to create the actual mini-project (due Mon. 10/19 - not this Monday!).

[Mr. Toomey's History @Mr_Toomey]

11th Graders - your 1st big assignment is due on Monday (originally at 2pm - now extended to 10pm). Take advantage of the long weekend to finish this week's work!

[Mr. Toomey's History @Mr_Toomey]

Cohort A students: you know what you should be doing from home today. Do your best to follow the school schedule & get work done on your project. Email me or message me on Classroom if you have any ?s.

[Mr. Toomey's History @Mr_Toomey]

To my former students: feel free to unfollow me this year, unless you want to see my awesome school announcements.

To my new students: message me to let me know you're following me and I'll give you extra credit! Some of you have already done that, thank you.

Google Meet Wednesday's....let's do this!

For Juniors: the topic is "Conflict & Absolutism in Europe" (the image here is for my 10th graders).

[Woburn Memorial High School National Honor Society @WoburnMHS_NHS]

All, here is a revised schedule for the mandatory remote Wednesdays. Please join your Meets at the scheduled times, w/ cameras ON!

[Mr. Toomey's History @Mr_Toomey]

Start some research by reading the book & watching YouTube clips! Time Management, Homework & Communication (when in need of help) is key to your success!

[Mr. Toomey's History @Mr_Toomey]

ALL - be prepared for the Q&A during our Wednesday Google Meet. Cohort A - you were introduced to the topic/assignment in class already. Cohort B - you introduced yourself with remote work (hopefully!).

Everybody should look at what's posted on Classroom for Assignment #1.

[Mr. Toomey's History @Mr_Toomey]

Cohort B: check Classroom for the new assignment, a mini-project. Read the assignment directions (in the Classroom post & in the attached PDF) then start reading the book. Manage your time wisely this week!

[Mr. Toomey's History @Mr_Toomey]

Cohort A students - make sure you've checked Classroom for the remote assignment you should be working on today or tomorrow.

Cohort B - 7th Period: be sure to complete the "Pandemic History" assignment for tomorrow's class. I posted it incorrectly earlier in the week!

[Mr. Toomey's History @Mr_Toomey]

For my new students, message me to let me know you're following me and I'll give you extra credit. If you have a handle that isn't your name, tell me who you are in that message!

Also, make sure you're checking Google Classroom for recent updates/assignments & graded work!

[Mr. Toomey's History @Mr_Toomey]

Great first day back with students. It was nice having classroom conversations again!

All students (especially Cohort B who is remote to start the week): please read everything that's posted on Classroom & do the form, survey and pre-quiz (just 10CP for the pre-quiz).
