This blog contains information for Mrs. Pluta's classes at the Lorain County JVS. It is hoped that Our Classroom Connection will keep students engaged in class discussion outside the school day.

Happy Halloween!

Do you know how our Halloween traditions came about?  It wasn't as popular in the United States until the middle of the 19th century.  While I'm not a huge fan of Halloween, a lot of people are.  It's pretty obvious since almost every house on my street has had decorations up since the beginning of the month.

If you're a huge Halloween fan, share one of your favorite memories.  Post by midnight on Halloween night to earn five bonus points!

What a busy month!


October has been a very busy month.  In addition to completing lots of work, we're also nearing the end of the first quarter on November 1st.  Students are hopefully on their way to earning a half social studies credit.
