Hello parents and students,
This blog will be one way our class communicates during the school year. I am attaching a calendar so that you can easily see any up coming events or tests, and keep track of assignment due dates. Additionally, students will be working on filling in their student planners as this is a good life skill.
It is my hope that we will work together this year to maximize student learning opportunities. I believe that parental encouragement is important to student learning. As a parent, when I ask my son what he's learning at school I hear the standard answer, "I don't know." I have learned that if I ask more specific questions I may get a better answer. Now I ask him,"What are you writing about in language arts class or what book or story are you reading in class?" If you have any questions about what we are doing in language arts and social studies (history) please contact me. For your convience my e-mail address is: martin.ginger@bgsd.k12.wa
Thank you for taking the time to read our classroom blog and I am looking forward to our class having a great year!
Mrs. Ginger Martin
