Welcome to The Daily Post! As the name suggests, this portion of the website is updated daily (right after school) and is designed for you to be able to access what was covered in class, from home. It's a great resource for last minute updates or if you are ever absent or find yourself confused about any specifics about homework, reading, due dates, vocab, etc.
Just consider it one more thing I do to make your life a bit easier...

The Daily Post Introduction
Thu, Apr 19 2007 09:10
| Introduction
The Daily Post is designed for you to be able to access what was covered in class, from home. Just like the "what was missed" notebook that sits in the front of the room, The Daily Post will cover all of the day's class activities, updates, and homework assignments that were covered while you were gone. This post will be updated daily (right after school) and if you are ever absent, this is the first place to go. Rather than showing back up to school a day behind and trying to catch up, you can simply log onto the site, get what you need, and arrive with everything taken care of. This is also a good place to check if you ever are confused about an assignment, a due date, or anything you may need to take care of outside of the classroom. Have a question? Post a comment. Have a response? Help out your classmates by responding. Clearly, this is a bit of an experiment--let's see how it goes.
