Change in emails...

I have just been notified by the school that rather than having the students using their personal emails for school, the Peterson will provide a .peterson.mx account for students to use for educational purposes (such as the Wikispace).

Tomorrow during Virtual Library we will go into your new accounts and into the Wiki as well.

See you then..

How to subscribe to this blog...

If you want to subscribe to this blog [recommended if you want to get alerts every time I post something new], just click on the green link above that says, "Subscribe to 5c English".

You will then be taken to a page where on the right it says, "Subscribe now!" There just select the web-reader you will want to use. Gmail users should probably choose  "google", yahoo users can use "my yahoo" and hotmail users can also use google because you don't need a gmail account for a "google" account.

Any questions just send me an email.

:-)

If you cannot understand the homework...

If you're doing say, pages in Spelling, and you do not understand a couple exercises:

Do this first:
1.) READ the directions again, c a r e f u l l y. Try and figure it out.
2.) Get help from an adult.
3.) Call one of your class friends and ask them.
4.) Take an educated guess. You might be right!

If you don't understand a whole page or more and NOBODY else can help you, please write me an email at: dmelgoza@peterson.edu.mx with the following information:

1. Your name
2. What book/subject is it?
3. What page number(s)?
4. What is the name of the activity? (should be in bold on top of the page in the book you are working on or right above the work)
5. What exactly are you looking at on the page?
6. What is it exactly that you don't understand?

For ex., an email you write to me could look like this:

Hi Dani,

This is (insert your name here) and I'm working on my Spelling book p. 7. The activity says to proofread a postcard but I don't understand? What do I do with this paragraph?  Also on the same page the next activity says to proofread words. What is proofread? On #8 there are 3 words that say vocle, vocal, and vocel. What do I do?

Thanks!

I will try and respond as soon as I can. Remember: the MORE information you give me about what exactly you are seeing on the page, what the directions are, and what your question is, the better I can help you! And please: Don't email me for every little thing, only when you really feel super lost and you won't be able to do most of your homework, and, NOBODY else can help you before me. In other words: Only email me for Homework Emergencies!

Good luck and success to you :)

Don't worry about going into the WIKI today. I still need to invite all of you through your email. Tomorrow during Virtual library we will go into it together, ok?

Have a good evening, and see you tomorrow.

Welcome to 5^c English!

This blog will be a great source of information for you as a student in my classroom. A good practice will be to check this blog every time you sit down to do your homework, as I (can and will) update the blog periodically. Think of it as a way for me to relay messages to you while you’re not physically present in the classroom. If there is something you need to know – it will be right here on this blog: I will post up news, specific instructions and changes in projects, pictures, helpful links and basically anything that can help YOU learn better.

So don’t forget to check the blog! 

Looking forward to a great year with you,

                                                                                Dani :-)
