A New Blog Feature

I've been working on the blog some today and have added a feature that may prove of value. The blog is geared for the parents of my current students and the posts are designed to allow the parents to get a glimpse of daily life in the classroom. I cleaned up the link lists on the right hand side of the blog and added a new link. The new link is titled Calendar of Events and contains things such as upcoming composition topics (listed in red), special assemblies and field trips, the word of the week and current spelling chapter (listed on Sunday), days the school is closed or closing early, and other information. While it is certainly possible that things like composition topics may change, the thought is that parents may be better able to engage their sons in meaningful conversations about what is happening in school. To get to the current month click on the Calendar of Events link on the right which will take you to the April 2009 calendar page. I added the last few days of March at the top of the April calendar. You can also click on May 2009 at the top to see upcoming events. If you have suggestions or things you'd like to see on the calendar please let me know. This being a new feature there may be a few hiccups, but I think this could prove to be a real asset.
