The old one was two pages long and full of syllabus stuff. Now, I work very hard on my syllabus and it's full of good stuff, but let's be honest, when a parent gets TONS of "sign here, and here, and here..." during the first week of school all that good stuff doesn't get read. So I boiled it down into an easy-to-read format that hopefully will get read!
YAY! No more boring!!!!
And no, those colorful boxes are not actually on it. Those are just to protect all my personal info from internet crazies :)
I hope you're having a fun time preparing for the upcoming school year.
Let's make it a great year together!!
Love the handout! I'm interested to know what platform you use for your classroom website, and more specifically the discussion forum. I'm currently using weebly for my classroom website.

Thanks Kim! I also use weebly for my classroom website - love it! I use Piazza for my discussion forum. I know there are lots of options out there and I chose piazza for a few reasons. 1) it supports math type so my students can easily type their questions and responses including math symbols/equations. 2) it has an apple and android app, allowing my students to keep updated from their devices. 3) it is password protected for safety. 4) it includes polls so I use that feature both during class and outside of class. You should definitely check it out if you're interested in a class discussion forum!
DeleteThanks for sharing! I will definitely check out the app. Sounds perfect!
