Purpose of this blog

I am Jenny Karpelenia and I teach 8th graders science at Bartels Middle School in Portage, Wisconsin. My goal with this blog is to help communicate what is happening in our Science 8 classroom with others. Parents might use it as a way to see what their son or daughter is learning at school. I will start it out, but I intend for students to rotate the job of adding a daily entry, sharing what we did in class that day. This could include what the topic was, specific things we learned about the topic, any labs or other activities we did, their favorite part of the lesson, what the assignment was, etc. I think this could even be a tool useful to absent students.

We will learn together how to add pictures, audio, video, etc. I think we can all contribute to making it and learning from it.
