Science Class Comments!

Each week I would like student to put in something they have learned about in my class as a short review. I also would like their comments on the lessons. I like their feed back. This way I can tweek lessons. I think I am going to definitely use this blog and keep it up and running. I may even set up a parent one. So we can have some open discussion. Yes it might make it a little scary but you know sometimes that is the best way to learn is to swim with the sharks!
