First Day of School Video

Here's the first day of school video that many of you saw at Back-to-School Night!

If you'd like a copy, I think that can be arranged! Just e-mail me at pguidetti@reading.k12.ma.us

Welcome Back!

This is my first post of the new school year! Seems like just yesterday that we were saying goodbye to all those sixth graders who have now moved on to the seventh grade!

Parents and students should know that there will be occasions when students will need to post information to the blog by making comments about posts that I enter. I will select a group of students in a class that will be assigned to do research to find answers to questions that I post. These answers that are included as comments on the post will be reviewed by me for content and then posted for all to see.

For example:

What are the three ways that heat can be transfered around the universe?

Students selected by me would then be assigned HW to research using the internet to find information that would help others to learn and understand the concept(s). They would then send comments to me through the blog with links to websites or web pages that others can use. Get it? You will!

I am looking forward to a great year with all of the new Team Voyager students! I hope you are too!
