I will be discussing with students today about posting to the blog and I will begin giving extra credit for the blog posts next week.  It is not mandatory to do this, but will help us discuss math and science outside the classroom and I know that is what we need to do to connect home and school!

Remember Camp Jolt money is coming due and we are running out of time!  Have a great day!

First 2 weeks of school

Hello families!
I hope you and your children are getting into the swing of things as we all adjust to the back to school schedule.  Please be advised that I sent home a Camp Jolt informational letter.  I need those returned to school by Wednesday.   We need a rough head count.  Also please start sending in money, it can be as little as 5 or 10 dollars.  It is 150 dollars per student and if you would like to chaperone, you also must pay $150.  Chaperones, must have a background check on file.

Welcome Back to School- Our First Blog!

For the first post on our class blog I would like for you to understand what is expected on this blog!
First of all, here are the rules!
Some blogging guidelines and reminders:

1. Students should NOT use their last name. You may use a pseudonym (fake name) if you want to.
2. Please be honest without being rude or mean.

3. Above all, be respectful.

4. When responding to another blogger, use their screen name at the beginning of your post so readers know who you are responding to.

5. All blog posts must be approved by me (Mrs. Fontenot) before they appear online. This means that your blog post will not show up right away on the website.

6. I will not approve blog postings that:

--contain inappropriate language
--include your last name or something that looks like a last name (if you are under 18)
--belittle the opinions of others
--are disrespectful in any way
--are not about books or reading

--do not add value to the blog (repetitive posts, silly or meaningless posts)
--do not make sense
--are not posted to the correct discussion forum
