Week 1, Day 1

Hello all!

I hope you had as amazing of a day as I had.  I was really excited to meet and interact with all of you, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow!

Today, as it says on the calendar, we passed out the syllabus--I'd like to have it back tomorrow, signed and returned.  It is technically "due" by Monday, August 12th--that's when I'll start taking off points as a late grade.

I've also started to update the Resources sections for each class.  Click there to see what resources we've covered so far (ie: the syllabus).

We have been learning how best to utilize Synergy (our new online grading program), and I have to make a change to the syllabus.  In Synergy we cannot make a category that has 0 weight, however we can make assignments 0 weight.  This means if there is something I just want to communicate to you, like that your child has or has not paid for a vocabulary book, then I'll weight the grade 0 in the category that it best fits.

Thank you for a wonderful first day and I'm looking forward to day 2!
