Ms. Virginia Blake's Class

 

Miss Blake's class explores a variety of topics in all areas of the curriculum while learning and practicing numerous study strategies.  Writing is a major focus for class this year.  Putting personality and voice into writing sure makes it fun to write and more interesting to read.

Math, Science and Social Studies are taught using a combination of activities to enhance understanding and learning.  Technology is incorporated into lesson whenever applicable.  We are looking forward to utilizing our school's newest technology addition, the DistanceLearning System.

Some interests and activities in this class include reading a variety of books, implementation of music and art whenever possible and use of various technologies provided in the classroom as an enrichment or part of the lesson.
