WELCOME!!!

Hello everyone,

Welcome to Mr. McDowell's classroom blog. I am very excited to have a classroom webpage and I hope that you will find it useful. The purpose of this blog is to provide a convenient (and reliable) communication link between students, parents, the school and Mr. McDowell. I invite you to check this blog on a daily basis as I will be posting valuable information about the classroom and the school - including daily homework assignments, important dates, classroom/school news, etc.

For your convenience, you can also sign-up to receive "daily updates" from this blog that automatically gets sent to your email every day there is a new posting. Simply type in your email address into the 'submit' box found on the right side of this blog.

More importantly, if you ever have any questions or concerns about your son/ daughter, please do not hesitate to contact me via phone, email, or this blog:

I shared the "Find It" for Charity Challenge with the students today.  In addition to our Christmas Cheer Challenge, we discussed how the "spirit of giving" is something that can be done year-long too.

Please use the attached link to give permission for your child's name, image, video, audio, or picture to be part of the Christmas video.  Please let me know if you have any questions/concerns.
