First time blogger!

Dear Parents/Guardians,

It has been a pleasure getting to meet with all of the families who have attended parent conferences so far, and I look forward to meeting with many more of you during the parent conferences scheduled for 2009.

During these conferences, I've heard a similar concern among parents. Some of you have expressed that you are beginning to feel out of the loop when it comes to your child's academics. You may not be seeing the assignments your child completes nor hearing about what he or she accomplishes in school each day.

In an effort to keep you updated, I've created a blog devoted to Team 7-1 English/Language Arts class.

A blog is a web site on which an individual or a group posts information on a regular basis about a specific topic. In the Team 7-1 English/Language Arts blog, which will be updated weekly, I'll post information about the skills your child has practiced and the content that has been covered in class each week. Upcoming events and due dates for long-term assignments will be listed as well.

While this blog may not answer all of your questions about English/Language Arts class, my hope is that it will act as a conversation starter for you and your child about the work he or she is completing each week.

Thanks, and see you on the web!

-Mr. Niles
