Students,

Remember, when you leave someone a comment, you need to tell them specifically what you noticed. Tell one positive and you can also give them some advice. You may also ask them a question about their information.

Please don't tell them "Good Job" or "Cool" or "Awesome".

Sincerely,

Mr. Lewis
