Two weeks in ...
Now that we have been in class for about 2 weeks I wanted to get your input.
I know we have had some different schedules and shorter classes, but with the time we have had together, what do you think about our science class so far?
Also, how do you feel about this blog site. I know many of you have said you have not blogged before and I would like to know if you like it or not? How do you think we could use this in the most beneficial way? What would you think are exciting activities we could run through our blog?
Remember to reply to other students' posts and take part in some engaging conversations!
