Hello 2018!

Wow! We're so happy that the week didn't start out as cold as it's ending! Unfortunately, we've had indoor recesses and bussing for the last 2 days. It's been awesome getting back into the routine of school and hearing all about the holidays. Before Christmas, we had worked really hard on our paper blogs. This week, we were able to do the final step: commenting. And then we got to try out Kidblog for the first time on Thursday! Notes went home with information for families about joining Kidblog to allow posts to be seen. Please click HERE for the link. From now on, students will post their weekly TWAS write-ups every Friday. We will also use the blog as a way of sharing other learning experiences from Room 31. So exciting!

Here is Haylee's first TWAS from her Kidblog account:

On Monday we did 3-2-1 sharing about our Christmas holidays. What you had to do was share 3 fun facts, 2 things you will miss about the holidays, (now that they are over) and 1 thing that surprised you. I shared about how I got an iPod, a drone and MUCH more! I also shared about how I would miss staying up late! Another thing we did on Monday was Library. I took out a book called "The thing about jelly fish" It looks like it is a good book.

On Tuesday we did a new art project. We made 2018 firework art!  What you had to do first was draw and cut out bubble numbers for stencils. The numbers you had to do were 2, 0, 1, and 8 since it is now 2018! Then we put tape on the back of each number and then stuck them on to a piece of blue paper. To make the fireworks we used chalk pastel of two different colors for each number. All you had to do was make little lines from your stencil. so the numbers would stand out. Then we took the tape off and added sharpie! Another thing we did was BHS reads. I am reading a book called OCDaniel. It is really good

On Wednesday we did paper blog commenting. What we did first was put our paper blogs on our desk. Then we walked around the classroom and read each others paper blogs and wrote comments on sticky notes. I got 4 comments. Another thing we did on Wednesday was science research on the laptops. We are researching different kinds of Weather disasters. I am researching about Droughts.

On Thursday we helped our little buddies log on to the laptops. It was so cute! We also got to play math games with them! I am with a boy named carter in kindergarten and with Emily in grade 5. Another thing we did was our Kid blog intro! We learned how to log on make an avatar and type our first post!

On Friday/today we did our first TWAS on kid blog!/The post I am doing now! I was so excited to type up my 2nd post! Another thing we are doing is presenting our French scripts! My partner is Ciera!
