Patriotism

Third Grade students, here is your first blog challenge. Tell me what it means to be patriotic. I would really like it if you wrote about some of the things we have been learning in class: the pledges, the National Anthem, or about American symbols. Are you proud to be an American? Please post a developed paragraph about this topic.

Perhaps early "posters" will be given a treat at school.

Welcome Back to School!

I'm thrilled about starting a new year. I can't wait to get to know all of you. I am confident that we will learn so much from one another this year.

This first post is an INVITATION to parents. Please use this forum for a way to ask questions, give compliments, voice concerns, clarify assignments, or anything else you can think of posting.

At this time I would love getting feedback about Orientation. Getting feedback from you allows me to improve as a teacher and a person. I grow when you provide me with constructive criticism and I learn what works well with compliments. Please, feel free to voice your opinion. If you need something to post about, start with Orientation Night. I'm sure I gave you plenty to discuss.

I look forward to BLOGGING with you.
