October Meetings

Our meetings in the month of October will take place on Tuesday, October 13 and Tuesday, October 27, from 2:30-3:00 in my classroom (525).

The second and fourth Tuesday of each month was chosen for the meeting date because it was the day of the week with the least conflicts for my super-involved group of students :)

I look forward to our next meeting!

Welcome to the Spartan Sword & Shield Blog!

Welcome to our blog!

The purpose of this blog is to offer a forum for extended communication. I will be posting information on this blog and sharing any information or links that I feel is relevant to our program. The blog will also be used as forum for sharing ideas, finalizing Sword & Shield projects, etc.

Please note that this blog is for the benefit of our program. It should be considered an extension of school. It is not to be used for online socialization. Proper language and etiquette is expected at all times.

I look forward to our blogging :0)
