      Newsletter - Volume 2

      Enjoy the weekend :)

      Volume 2 - 2011

      Welcome!!

      Welcome to our class blog. I love blogging, I have a blog on teaching and one day I decided to incorporate it into my classroom. I'll try to post here as often as possible. It's an easy way for me to update everyone on things that are going on in the classroom, as well as post any last minute reminders. It's also a great way for parents to keep up and make sure your students are telling you everything they should be.

      On Fridays I will post the newsletter to the blog. I will also be sending home information on the Hall of Fame Challenge shortly. This is a fun, outside of school challenge that students can choose to do. It's an optional project. I'll also be posting information on our Monthly Family Projects, as well as everything else going on. Feel free to let me know if there's something specific you're looking for or would like to see on here.
