I must begin by apologizing for allowing my blog to fall by the wayside. I truly intended to keep you all updated with the happenings of my classroom, but it was just not a high priority for me. Assignments needed to be graded, lesson plans had to be written, and I simply lost focus with my blog.
So, I am recommitting to this project. I truly want parents and teachers to be involved with my classroom. I am choosing to begin again; start anew; and try my best to keep up with my blog.
With that being said, Varnum students will be returning to school on Wednesday, August 13th. I have made some changes to my curriculum and presentation of information. We will also be doing more writing in class. Journals are changing, as well. Students will now only write in their journal twice a week, and the prompts will be geared toward writing. The time spent on this activity will increase as well. I'm making this change in hopes that this assignment will more deeply engage students, and they will grow as writers and revisers.
Thanks for all you support, and I look forward to a great new school year.
