Parent Post

Meldon/Chenault-

Hello Parents,

We just wanted to give you a chance to see what your child will be using daily in Social Studies class.  This site displays the agenda for the day as well as an archive for past classes.  The page also hase a "don't forget" section that reminds students of important things such as upcoming tests.  Many times the students will be graded on comments that they make on this blog-- for example, we may post questions on our blog and students will answer them through the comments section.  We believe that this blog site will be very beneficial in our students' development and sucess this year in class.

Also, please visits your child's own blog site and see what they have created. 

By Monday, August 29, we ask that you comment below if you had a chance to look at this site with your student!!  Thanks!! 

Mr. Meldon, Mr. Chenault, Mr. Tribble

We have never blogged, so we will have a wait and see approach. We will try to keep an open mind. For our first time blogging did not seem to hurt too bad.

Lauren's on the computer everyday anyway so this works for her. Plus the kids won't have to bring home all that paper work and you're saving trees. Good idea. I like it.
