General Guidelines:

1. Your assignment directions and focus skills will always be written on the daily agenda. If you are absent, you need to check the agenda to see what you need to do.

2. The comment needs to be at least 25 words.

3. The comment needs to be under 400 words. If it is over 400 words, it will get cut off.

4. Your comment will not show up until I approve it.  Please be patient

5. VERY IMPORTANT:  After you write your comment click PREVIEW, then click SAVE to send it to me for approval.  Just clicking PREVIEW will not post the comment.  You must also click SAVE.

   Again, it won’t show up until I approve it, so don’t expect it to just pop up like it does for bloggiwog.

   You can see if it is awaiting approval by clicking the link to “My Comments Awaiting Approval” on the left side of the screen.

How you are graded:

1. You must follow the directions given in the daily agenda
