I've moved!

I just realized that my blogging page had not been updated to note the changes that occurred over the summer. This year I am teaching seventh grade science. Students will be in my class for only a semester.

Once Dreamweaver has been loaded on my new room computer, parents will be able to download the class syllabus; district scope and sequence; as well as any other documents that are handed out to students.

Coming home soon will be informational papers regarding students helping to create videos demonstrating projects and after school retraining (for those that are struggling with completion of classwork and/or behavior).

It's going to be an excellent year of learning and growing as students learn not only about science but necessary life skills.

Class Homework Page Down

A tech-support request has been submitted to the district for the necessary program to be loaded on the computer in my new room. Just as soon as it is, I will be able to post specific assignments.

Our first set of grades will start being entered Friday September (22). Students are peer assessing work in class and then I will start entering grades. It might take me two nights to get everything entered.

Thank you for your patience.

The new challenge is here for us to solve. Take the time to view the rules and watch YouTube videos . There are many more videos to watch! Just search around. The main webpage for First Lego League (FLL) can be found by clicking herehttp://www.firstlegoleague.org/

Parent consent slips are due September 25. As soon as we are assigned a competition date, I will send home papers to notify families.
