Haiku Centralized Class Manager

Haiku is now in operation with a handful of MS and US teachers. We are conducting a pilot to see how it works for teachers and students. I will be using it with all my 4th year science classes. It should provide one-stop-shopping for homework and resources. It has a blog capability of sorts, but a little different. We will see. Right now students can log in using their CFS gmail address and password.

New Hope Creek Field Trip




Block Schedule, went to Johnston Mill site on New Hope Creek. We evaluated the health of the stream by making an inventory of the critters that we found in the creek. We categorized them by the level of their tolerance for pollution and their needs for dissolved oxygen. The creek scored well and appears to be fairly healthy.
