One of my favorite classes this I am taking is history with my teacher Ms. Forsyth. History is my favorite class this year I hope to learn more about the history of the world. My teacher Ms. Forsyth worked for the Navy and than decided to become a teacher. We use technology in the class to look up pictures of what we are learning about.  The grading policy in her class is that tests and projects are both 40% of my grade each, along with 10% for both homework and do nows. I hope to have a lot of fun this in all of my classes.
