Flight and Space 9/17

Hello Families!

In Flight and Space, we are just finishing up some of the "business" we need to attend to in our classes, like setting up our network accounts and emails. Starting next week (9/21), we will begin working on our very first skill--research! Students will be working on this skill to supplement the experience and knowledge they already gained, to learn more about the history of human flight! As always, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me at: james.hron@fridley.k12.mn.us

Welcome to a New School Year

Welcome Families!

We are all very excited for another great year at FMS! Specifically, we are excited to introduce to you Mr. Hron's PLTW classroom website! The students have had a chance to explore the website, and hopefully you have heard about the website as well.

This website will be an area for you to explore the great things Fridley Middle School students are creating in Project Lead the Way. Periodically, I will post articles, pictures, and information about the different PLTW classes, as well as student work. This website is a great way to find out what is going on in your student's class!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. My contact information can be found at the Fridley Public School's website.

Open House

Welcome, Families, to Open House!

This is going to be a spectacular year in Project Lead the Way (PLTW). There are so many exciting things going on!

I am sure you have a lot of questions. This website is going to be the central hub for all PLTW news, information, pictures, video, and even homework in Mr. Hron's class! If you are ever unsure of what is going on in your child's class, or have a question about recent homework, this is the place to check! Of course, you may also contact me at my email, which is listed below.

I teach 3 different Project Lead the Way Classes. They each analyze a different area of technology, although they are all connected in the exploration of how technology affects society. The curriculum maps of each class are linked below.

Automation and Robotics

Design and Modeling

Flight and Space

Again, if you have any questions, feel free to ask! Otherwise, feel free to explore the site, and get ready for an excellent school year!
