I am making a slight adjustment to all the websites that correspond with my classes. Based on a recommendation from one of our parents that made the observation that it would be helpful to have the current weeks lesson be the first thing that students and parents view when they visit one of my websites I have decided to modify the website slightly. From this point forward when you log on to a website of mine the first page you come to will be the current weeks lesson. Previous lesson and weeks can still be found by following the menu and sub menus and I will rotate the weeks out as needed to replace it with new material.

Normal weekly activity
Students are separated into three groups. One group will work on the computers completing assigned written work, researching and interacting with the class website. Please make sure that students have a set of headphones (any size will work) so that they can listen to the various films, songs and other material, one group will work on the section vocabulary by playing a matching game I have developed to help them learn their vocabulary and one group will work with me in the book covering the weeks lesson. The groups rotate each day Tues-Thurs. Mondays I give an overview of what we will cover during the week and Friday we test or watch films that reinforce visually what we have covered during the week. I also include in the resource sections any power point lessons I have conducted, films I think might interest the students or songs that reinforce what we have learned.
