Dear Parent/Guardian you have Blogfolio homework….Students do not have homework this weekend 😊 We will continue to work on Coat of Arms next week in class.  Reminder that curricular competencies self-assessment due on Blog by Friday.  Have a well deserved weekend!

Digital portfolios are assigned to individual students and are kept private. To access a digital portfolio, students must know their unique login and password information. Digital portfolios (Blogfolio) will be assessed each term.  Please see rubric on my website.   Parents/Guardians will have access to their child’s digital portfolio where they can see the learning process. This form of communication allows the student opportunities to practice self-assessment and ownership of their learning (an extremely important skill for this year). Students please login for your parent/guardian.

For homework this week, students will be asked to spend a few moments to review their Blogfolios with their parent/guardian. I ask that you take time this week to comment on one item of your child’s digital portfolio.   Please comment in their Blogs. Thank you!
