Welcome to the 2015-2016 school year!!!

This year I am teaching 6th grade Language Arts and  Ancient Civilizations and 7th grade Language Arts (Read 180).

Our first reading was LAUSD's Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). We are getting ready for those iPads! We watched the BrainPop on Online Safety, read some excerpts from the AUP, and discussed some "juicy" scenarios and what we should do. We looked for evidence in the AUP and brainstormed consequences.

We discussed the word "copyright". Today, we will listen to this:
