Hello all!

I apologize for their not being a post last night, for I was absent yesterday, but from what I heard from the Occasional Teacher, a good day was had in our classroom.

Next Thursday (February 21st) students will be required to hand in their Trustworthy Article Assignment.  I have received almost all of the rough drafts by now, and provided feedback for students.  They now need to type up the assignment at home and organize it in article form.  Students are strongly encouraged not to wait until the last minute to complete this assignment.  They will need more than the night before to complete it.

Here is tonight's work.

Directions for Posting on the Making a Difference Blog

Dear Parents,

The students have created a blog to promote making a difference in our school.  They will be asked from time to time to make posts on it for their peers to see (both in the class, as well as the school as a whole).  We would also like to encourage families to take the time to go on the blog and post encouraging words whenever they have the chance.  This is a place for our whole Rick Hansen community to celebrate the process of making positive impacts in our world.

Below are the steps for signing in....

1.  www.blogger.com

2.  User name:  mrcarrclass1
Password:  rickhansen

3.  Once signed in students can click on the button which looks like a pencil.  This is where they can add their title and make their post.

4.  To access the blog website students can either click on the "View blog" button or go directly to the website:

www.makingadifferencerhps.blogspot.ca


Thank you for celebrating this initiative with us!
