Two Weeks and Counting

Welcome to our class blog, "Ladybugs on Learning"!  I hope you will find this page helpful for both parents and students.  If you are new to our blog, welcome!  If you are a returning guest, welcome back!  I'd like to share a few things with you, to guide you through using our blog.

• We welcome comments on our blog from families as well as from our students.  We began encouraging this last year, and have left some instructions on how to best comment in the sidebar to the right.  Please follow the instructions and comment away!  
• Last year, we began to use Twitter to communicate "up to the minute" updates to our blog.  There is a twitter gadget also in the sidebar to the right.  You may find pictures, links or just some quick "tweets".  Bear with me, as I learn how to best navigate this part of our blog. If you tweet, follow us @JFK24Ladybugs.
• I have posted some links to important information to the right as well.  You will find summer letters to both parents and students, as well as the suggested supply list for incoming Fourth Graders.  You will also see our class handbook, however I haven't updated that quite yet.
• I try to post updates to our blog on Fridays, and very often include pictures or videos of our week.  I also try to include links(games, study guides, videos, etc.)  which could help students with homework or studying.  If you would like to follow our blog by email, there are two options.  You can enter your email in the "Follow by Email" gadget, or you can become a "Follower". Both of these options are in the section on the right.  
• If you or other members of your family speak a different language, I've included a translator gadget to the right.  This will help  families from around the world to keep updated with your child's school activities.

In a week or so, you should learn if you are in our class.  I hope to post some pictures of our classroom, so that you can see what to expect!  I know we are going to have a great year!

Enjoy the last few weeks!
