I have decided to create a classroom blog. And you ask WHY????
*******
I am going to use this blog as a way to better communicate with my parents and students. In being good stewards of our Earth many of us have started taking steps to recycle and reduce the footprint we leave on our planet. Teaching is a profession where we use a lot of paper and at times it is simply too much. Many of us are very tech savvy in this generation and keep up with relatives, news, and entertainment through the internet so I thought I would allow you have that same option through our classroom blog.
So if you choose to go paperless (other than student work) I will respect that by offering you this avenue of classroom information. Each week I will post the newsletter onto the blog- with a weekly review, upcoming dates, specials schedule, and a homework preview. I will also be sure to include mid-week reminders, cool links for your children to explore, and updates for you in case of school closings due to weather or sickness.
You will be able to access these documents at any time so even if you choose not to go paperless you can always have a place to look if you misplace important papers. If you are not familiar with blogging it is easiest to keep up with new posts by becoming a follower of this blog. If you have questions on how to do this please email me at sarah.smorstad@jessamine.kyschools.us
I hope that you find our classroom blog helpful throughout the rest of the school year!
