First Assignment!

Ok, so I may be a bit excited to get started on this first assignment...I am just actually thrilled to be using technology and all of you that know me well know that this is exciting!
Your first assignment is called Mysterious Geographical Location Search. Your task is to read the description of the mysterious geographical location, search for the location using your classroom laminated maps, and then post your answer under the "comments" section of my blog.
Mysterious Geographical Location Search
Question One:
On which of the five Great Lakes is the city of Cleveland, Ohio located?
Remember to use your map skills to figure out today's mysterious location. Good luck & I look forward to reading your answers!

Welcome to Chalkboard Tango!

Chalkboard Tango is hopefully on its way with my first posting! This will be an awesome place for both parents and students to visit to get updates on important events in our classroom. I will also be listing assignments on this blog that students will know about ahead of time. They will need to visit this location to find each assignment and then respond to the assignment. I will be taking the students to the computer lab in another week to teach them how to access Chalkboard Tango and how to respond properly to each assignment. If students do not have access to a computer with internet capabilities, I will allow them to work on the assignment during class.
Hopefully, this will be a super way of communicating as an educational family!
