This is it!

Make no mistake, this is it! We are going to empower our students!

End of the 6 Weeks

I am trying to get all of my students to pass for the 1st six weeks. I have been out for 9 days of inservice. Some of my students have really dug a hole for us to climb out of. I will do what I can, but some of my students have made some very poor choices. My goal is to get all of my students to pass.

A Way Around OS9 with Gmail

I found an old version of Mozilla the browser for the Emac OS9 computers in my classroom. The IE 5.1 for the Macs won't let us work with the Gmail. I want to use Gmail because of the Google account which has Google documents. My students will have 24/7 access and be able to turn their work in on the computer.
Hope this works!

Develop Character Attribute; Developing TEAMWORK

Teamwork is our attribute for the month.

Flexible, Cooperative, and Collaborative

We need to be flexible, cooperative, and collaborative. If we collaborate, we can create a great learning environment. If we are cooperative, we can respect each other. If we are flexible, we can deal with anything in a reasonable manner.

Classroom Goals

Goals for our Reading Class
1. Pass the Reading TAKS Test!
2. Complete and Comprehend the Voyager Reading daily.

CAUTION! WARNING! WARNING! DANGER WILL ROBINSON!
Some of this is going to work. Some of it isn't going to work. We will be FLEXIBLE and adjust to whatever comes up because our Number One Goal is to:

PASS the READING TAKS TEST!

About my Dog Sticky

My little white poodle Sticky got hit by a car while chasing rabbits. I miss both my dogs.

About my Dog Penny

Last April, I lost my dog Penny due to a wind storm that knocked down my gates. I searched and searched for Penny, but never found her. She was chipped and had her shots and I checked the Humane Society every week.
I found out that Yorkie's are very popular and since she was a healthy female able to create more just like her...
