Welcome Parents and Students!

You've found it, Mr. Bonner's Blog! This is my very first foray into this realm of communication, so check back for more soon as I start to figure it all out. It's my plan to use this space to post weekly spelling lists, math assignments, project information, announcements, and educational links. Students, if you read this post, tell me the secret code: "Prime Meridian," in a whisper the next time you see me in class. That way I'll know you were here. Parents, if you're able to find this, please post a comment to let me know i'ts working. And I'm always looking for worthwhile educational links for kids.

If students and parents are using this blog, I'll update the posts on a weekly basis. Como siempre, Mr. Michael Bonner
