Mr. Grant is out today. Open the September 8 StoryHub launcher, choose the class you are sitting in, and work from top to bottom. Your lesson notes save on the device while you work; use Note Repair before you finish and download your notes at the end.

A few things changed behind the scenes today: U.S. History now points to The Gilded Age, the calendar matches the same current-class record, and the Daily Check-In and Hall Pass links are still the first things you see. This page is now the running changelog for classroom and site updates worth knowing about.

Start here, choose your class, and use Google Classroom for the day’s assignment. The hall pass, calendar, course files, and the rest of the desk are ready when you need them.

The 2026–27 schedule is set: US History from Reconstruction to right now, Hidden History, and Beyond the Scoreboard. Each class has a full course hub, a Daily Desk, and a place in the shared glossary and resource library. Law and Economics are off this year’s schedule, but their materials are still in the library.

The tools page now has a class timer, random group maker, cold-call picker, dice roller, scoreboard, and topic spinner. The course pages also have unit-by-unit breakdowns, class hubs, and direct links to the materials we use.

The Desk now lives at grant-desk.com. Update your bookmark if you were using the old address.

Welcome to the new home base for US History, Hidden History, and Beyond the Scoreboard. Bookmark it — announcements, unit updates, library additions, and simulation news land here first. Assignments and grades still live in Google Classroom.
