New Website!

2011-09-11T21:49:00.001-04:00

Due to issues occurring with uploading content and Blogger no longer being accessible from school, I have moved our class website to beemscience.weebly.com. Use the tabs along the top to navigate to the daily agenda, documents, and class calendar. More content will be added to the new site as time goes on, so keep checking back for new updates and design. This site will no longer be used, so make sure to change your bookmark. Please let me know if there is an issue with the new website...we can always move again! :)

Commenting

2011-09-09T23:11:00.002-04:00

Hopefully I have finally fixed some most of the issues with commenting. I have changed everyone's commenting settings (except for 37 of you who I will email in the morning, 9/10). If you still cannot comment, remember to write your comments in a Word document and email me that you cannot comment. We will find a solution!!!

Have a great weekend!
