Week 2 of 2014!
I am hoping this finds you back into the routine of the school year and hopefully staying warm on top of it. Boy has it been chilly this past week... for some of you it has been beyond frigid! As we move forward in January and on, many of you are coming up to the end of the first semester! I am excited for you! Keep in mind your goals for the semester. Below I have included dates to keep an eye on, hourly goals, and % goals. We also will be taking a look at your Individual Learning Goals (ILP) if you are a fulltime student. So keep those in mind as well.
Sending you a smile and a high five!

Teacher Tip
Having trouble with your Blackboard connection? Try adjusting the connection speed. In Blackboard, go to the Edit menu>Preferences>Session>Connection and adjust your connection speed from the pull down menu on the right. The best setting to choose is Wireless, even if your computer is plugged into your internet cable. The speed for the wireless setting works best with most connections.
