We are off to a good start so far this year.   We have some great classes, and I have some ideas on how to make things even better.  One thing I want to improve on is communication.  Because we do a lot of group and hands on work in our class, there is not a lot of papers to send home.  However, I want parents to feel a part of what we are doing, so I have a couple ideas of how to make that happen. First is this blog.  I will be updating this blog at least once a week to give information about events, projects, or any other information that needs passed on.  We will recognize accomplishment, give opportunities for input, and help you keep in touch with what we are doing in class.  In addition to our blog, I have created an Edmodo account for our class.  Edmodo works kind of like a Facebook for the classroom.  The only people who have access are those who are invited.  Students will be posting for classes, receiving assignments, and communicating with each other, as well as, others in our community. I am going to send an invitation with the code so that you can join at home.  This will be a great way for you to stay connected with what we are doing.  As always, if you have an questions, please feel free to contact me.  Below is the link to our edmodo page if you want to check it out.  Have a great Week!
