Block Schedule
Radford High School follows a block schedule period. On Mondays, students attend all 7 periods which means that I see both of my Modern Hawaiian History classes (Period 2 & 7). Then on Tuesdays & Thursdays, it is odd periods and Wednesday, Fridays, it is even periods. Therefore, the blank days in the calendar mean that I am teaching the same lesson plan as the previous date (odd period 7 on Tuesdays & Thursdays).
