Obviously, I am not as diligent in maintaining this blog as I might like...
Here are some things that students and parents of my students ought to be aware of:
1) Widgets on the left- some are just for fun (Word of the day, thought of the day), but some are actually valuable tools (search wiki and search dictionary.com). Check periodically to see if I've updated them and use them as you see fit.
2) The links- Also on the left. Students should pay special attention to the links to My Skills Tutor and Criterion writing software. If at all possible, students should spend at least 1/2 hour per day working in each program outside of school- this is homework and will be graded as such.
3) AR Reading- Once again, we are attempting to impress upon students the value of continuously reading, both for pleasure and to meet goals. AR goals have been set and students should be aware of their ZPDs. A student who fails to meet his AR goal by the end of a semester will have his first block grade reduced by 10%. Additionally, students who fail to meet their goal during the semester that they have English will lose 20% off of their English grade.
