Koolteecha's Virtual Classroom

Howdy Lions!  Welcome to 8th Grade Language Arts and welcome to my website!  

I always feel a delirious combination of exhilaration and exhaustion at the beginning of a school year.   I have been working hard to get things ready for you all, and yet it’s only just the beginning!  So many possibilities!!  

I hope you will take advantage of the information you’ll find here on my website.  I encourage you to take a look at some advice from last year’s 8th graders – they created some videos just for you!   Click HERE to see them!

Another valuable link here on my website is our class calendar.  See over there to the right?  There’s a heading titled “PAGES”.  One of those links will take you to our class calendar, so you’ll always know what’s up.  CLICK HERE to see it!  Check it often as it changes often!

Yet another VERY HELPFUL  place to look will be the Virtual Classroom File Cabinet.  It’s exactly what it sounds like – a “file cabinet” full of our class assignments.  So if you happen to misplace a handout or your dog/cat/hamster/sister eats an assignemnt, most of the time you can download and print out a shiny new copy by visiting the Virtual Classroom File Cabinet!

Lastly, you can subscribe to my website by entering your (or your parent/guardian’s) email address into the form in the top right-hand corner of this page.  Then you’ll get an email every time I post a new entry to the website. 

I know that I threw a ton of stuff at you today, and combined with all the other stuff that your Lions’ teachers threw at you, I imagine that your brain is pretty much fried.  (Mine is too, truth be told!) 

SOOOOOO to help you out, here’s a list of what I’ll be expecting you to turn in to me by Friday:

1. The Survival Guide Parent/Student signature page on the back of your Survival Guide.  

2. Your Internet Permission form and the Lions’ Adventures in Technology Handout – both with your parent/guardian’s signature.  (You can find both in the Virtual File Cabinet if you’ve misplaced them!)

3. Your parents’ homework assignment titled “In a Million Words or Less” (also available on the Virtual File Cabinet).

I’d love it if you’d go ahead and drop me a comment – say hello so that I know you were here!  (Don’t worry if your comments don’t show up right away – I must approve them first…)

**BTW – a special howdy to all of you leaving comments here tonight!  I feel so verrrrry popular!  (ok so I bribed you but still…)   I should have mentioned this in class, but please please please leave ONLY your first name and last INITIAL in your comment, guys!  Kthnxbuhbye, 

 TTFN!
