Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!  It is hard to believe that school is halfway done...CRAZY!  The second half of the year will be busy.  I will keep you posted with the events coming up! 

Tonight I asked students to check out a new website we will be using called Manga High. 


I am still working on the best way to utilize this site; however, I would like all students to log in (if you have internet access) to play the challenge.  I believe the challenge involves answering addition problems and taking out robots.  This is not quite the subject matter I would have preferred, but it was what I could get into to test how this will work.  I should be able to sign in tomorrow and see how everyone did.  Eventually, I will be able to assign challenges to go along with what we are doing in class and we can even challenge other schools!  Let me know your thoughts on this website....I joked that I couldn't believe I was assigning 'video games' tonight for homework!  Like I said earlier, I am TESTING this!  There should be other games they can play.

I am also working on updating the blog and adding a new background.  It is not quite working the way I was hoping, but hopefully it will have a new look soon without me losing what we have already!

Just a reminder, report cards will come home tomorrow.  If you have any questions about grades, please contact me.

Have a good night..enjoy this crazy weather!
