This blog will be a great source of information for both parents and students.
Our goal is to post the following:
  • Classroom update and reminders
  • Projects

  • Targets with Rubrics (This is how we grade.)
  • Calendars for novel studies

Hopefully by using this blog we can avoid the panic look in this students' eyes.
