- Students need to make @Agenda Book entries every day. On day one we reviewed the sections of the book and explained how to use it. [rules, special dates, religious stories, book reading log, resources at the back of the book.] Students should use the Agenda Book to take down details of assignments as no assignment ever comes without a lot of detailed explanation and directions.
- I also introduced the class to our @Class Web Page and how to use it to keep track of curriculum and to keep updated. In particular we reviewed the @Daily Agenda Page and pointed out that it's a great way to keep track of the school year. It would be really helpful if parents would initial or sign the agenda book to keep in contact. You as a parent of course have the right to limit the amount of time you want your child to work on homework. I always give class time for new assignments and many students are able to get most of the major work done in class work time. @Agenda items that don't appear in @Homework are class work projects with longer deadlines. Students of course are allowed to do extra work on these at home if they wish or are able.
- I do expect students to take initiative in following our program. They have full access to computers in class and in the computer lab and can easily check homework, weekly agenda and teacher's notes to keep posted.
- Students received a newsletter today - Thursday, September 7, 2006
- I've signed up for a @Gigasize account - if you wish you can download our @Gilgamesh power point to your own computer [right click, save target as"]
- I'd like students to be accountable for all tests that they write - I've asked them to get parents to sign all student tests and help me to get their children to make corrections as well. Students are to keep all tests in a duo-tang for reference and further study. Thanks for your support.
- Students can purchase computer earphones for $2.00 from the office - theirs to keep!
- PS - I always give students a lot of class time to get assignments done in class - if homework seems to be piling up for your child, we'll have to look at either their use of class work time or the rate at which they work in class.
- Students are to read one book a week and record the book title and author in their agenda books, complete with your approving signature. [first school week was free]
- When we work in the computer lab with Power Points which cover important course content - i.e. - the Trees and Forests power point or the French Conversation power point, students not only view and study these in class but they also download them into their own "My Documents" folder for personal study, editing and reworking - at the end of the year we give students a CD with all their computer projects for the year as a record of their work.
- Students received a picture pack brochure today September 19, 2007
- Art Projects so far: Outdoor sketch of objects in the school yard, cartoon copy of a cartoon posted in class, a 2 frame animated cartoon using Paint and Power Point, design a personal name-tag logo based on a lesson on designing logos and coats of arms, design a better sign for Cinema Six
