MLA formatting, a writing format that the majority of students have been using since
middle school (if they were born in the 90’s like me). MLA stands for Modern Language
Association, and it is used when writing essays and research papers. It has specific formatting for
Using MLA can be a daunting task if you don’t use it often enough. I seem to always
look up the correct formatting every time I need to write a paper in MLA formatting. As I look
up the correct formatting I will either use resources from prior classes, or do an internet search. If

Next week starts Paddle Sports and Water Safety! This is a fun new lesson we are
excited to offer with the help of Idaho Parks and Recreation Boating Safety
Program.
This course will start in the classroom learning the basics of paddle craft and water
safety. The students will be given a course book and we will have a guest lecturer
along with Ada County Sheriff’s office teaching the material. This portion will take 3
class periods; once the in-class portion is complete, students will test their knowledge
with a quiz. If students pass, they will be invited to our field day.
The Field Day will allow the students to put their new knowledge of paddle sports
safety and how-to, to the test. Students will be broken up into two different days, the
first group will go on the 4th and the second will go on the 5th. It is not a requirement
that students go, however, if students choose not to attend our field day, the student
will be assigned a short paper about paddle sports and water safety.
Idaho Parks and Recreation will be providing canoes, kayaks and paddleboards for
students to use, and Ada County Sheriff’s Office Marine Deputies will also be
present to offer boat rides.
This is a great opportunity for students to try something new, and learn a new
lifetime skill!
