New School year 2012-2013

Welcome new students and parents/guardians!!

This is my class blog.  It is where I post the things we are doing in class and what we will be doing in class in the near future.  I put on here any tests or quizzes that are coming up and projects the kids are working on.  I am even able to put some directions on here.  There is one computer tool that has the directions for the project in it.  That tool is called a wiki.  All the tools have web addresses, so they can be seen and worked on from home.  This is the good thing about using them.  You will always have access to what your child is doing in here.  If you have a Google email account, you can reply to this posting, but if not, then you can send me an email at school.  I hope that you will reply to the posting because it gets fun and interesting to see what other parents write on here.  I would love to get a dialogue started that way!!  Next week is our first full week of school.  I am going to be showing the students all the computer tools we will be using and even setting one of them up.  By the end of the week, we should be working on our first unit - rocks, minerals, and soil.  We have vocabulary everyday, so be looking for that, too.  Well, I am really looking forward to a great year with your children.  I hope to talk - type with you soon!!! :-)   See you on the web!!!!!
