Hello Families!

If you are reading this, then that means your student brought home the link to this site and you are looking at it!  Thanks for checking in!  I hope you have some time to check out each tab at the top, and that your student shows you around the site a bit.  I'm looking forward to growing this blog daily with the students, so keep checking back with us when you can!

Today we started using our SMART board, and of course this is going to be a learning process for all of us, but so far, we got the hang of some of the ways of the board!  We love how we can erase with our fist and write in all sorts of color.  There is so much to explore with the board, but I'm sure that over the course of the year we will become much more accustomed to this amazing new technology!

One thing I asked each student to do tonight is to create a username for this blog so that their real names and identities will be kept private, since it's technically a public blog.  The example I gave in class is that if a student loved Sponge Bob, they could have the username be: SBob, or SpongyB.  Something cute that represents them and maybe something they love.  I will keep a list of their user names so that I know who is posting comments and writing on our blog.  All comments are to be moderated by me, so not just anyone will be able to add to it unless I deem it 1) appropriate and 2) relevant.  Have fun with it and happy commenting!
