Working with technology and becoming media literate is a part of the curriculum so we've decided to start a classroom blog. Here you can keep up to date with the latest classroom news, upcoming class and school events and homework assignments.

  2. No websites are needed unless you are interested. The questions should be just the ones based on the reading. However I'm sure you can find many additional and interesting facts just by searching on the web. Hope you are feeling better!
