Ways to be safe online

Since we are going to be using online resources in our classroom, I wanted to go over some guidelines.  These will help you be safe while you are doing your homework.  I encourage you to share these with your parents so you will be safe at home and they will understand my rules while you are doing work for this class.  


This video explains a little bit about why we need to be careful when working online.

Some online tips!

1.  Do not share your password with anyone except your parents.
2.  If something you see makes you uncomfortable, tell an adult right away.
3.  Remember, not everything you read on the internet is true.  
4. When you are online, what you do is up to you.  
5. Don't do anything that you don't want to do.
6.  Never agree to meet someone you met on the internet without your parent's permission.
7.  Any information you share about yourself can be seen by anyone who is online.
8.  Don't do things online that you wouldn't do in real life.
9.  Treat others the way you would like to be treated. 

Please remember that it is not that we are trying to control you or that we don't trust you.  We want to protect you from the weird things out there.

Classroom Expectations

Welcome to week #2!

I just wanted to give you a little bit more of where I come from.  I went to college at Southern Utah University.  I got married, had kids and then decided that being an accountant wasn't what I really wanted to do with my life.  So 20 years later, I decided to finish my bachelor's degree ( really start over) in Education.  My goal is to eventually become a librarian. 

If you need to contact me for any reason, please call or text me at  (208) 440- 3580 or e-mail me at lovestoread@gmail.com.

My classroom expectations are really simple.

1.  Respect each other.  We treat others the way we would like to be treated.
2.  Do your best.  
3.  Communicate.  I am not a mind reader and do not know if there are extraordinary circumstances.  I will help in whatever way I can.
4. A reading book is always to be brought to class.  If you finish your work, then you will have something to do.

I love parents to come into our class.  Please share your profession and talents so that we may use you in our classroom.

Thanks again and talk to you next week.
