January 5th-9th




Welcome back! I hope you had a wonderful winter break filled with family, fun, and relaxation. Starting the new year is always a fun time to look back and reflect and a time to make plans. I hope you'll take part in our Star Staff Blogging Challenge during the month of January! Don't worry, it doesn't need to be a long literary piece-- the topic can be anything! 
Some topics / ideas include: 
Looking back to August, what are you most excited about? 
What are you looking forward to in 2015? 
Is there a tech tool you love or are excited to try? 
Have you read a great book lately? 
What #oneword might you choose to inspire you in 2015?
Something you'd like to celebrate? 

I'd love to have you be a guest blogger on our school blog. It's easy! Here's how:


1. Compose an email to jkloczko.staracademy@blogger.com
2. The subject line will become your blog title
3. The body of your email will be your post
4. Any attached images will be embedded in the post

  1. Thank you for the reminder about google doc fonts. What about fonts for spreadsheet? I rarely use it because I don't like the 5 or 6 fonts to choose from :(.

  3. Hi Julie,
    I did a little research and there is an add-on that will add 35 fonts. Better than 6? Check the google store
    It's called more fonts!
