help me out!

July 15th, 2008

Hello former students!

I hope your summer is going well. I have a favor to ask of you, and would greatly appreciate your help!

My website for next year is mrskirch.edublogs.org

I am trying out something new where I have a “forum” that my students will be discussing things on. I want to try it out and make sure all the glitches are out before August. I would GREATLY APPRECIATE you

going to my new website,

clicking on the “class forums” tab,

following the instructions to register,

and posting something on the “what are you up to now” forum. Even if it is just “hi, I stopped by!” Let me know if you had any technical difficulties or if anything was confusing for you so I can fix it!

Thank you much!!!

(the other good news is that if you are subscribed to this website, you will no longer receive updates next year, since I have a new site!!)

Mrs. Kirch
