Today was a Terrific Tuesday inside of room 204! We had the best time reviewing our study of Maria Isabel this morning and working on our Me You See brainstorming. In the afternoon we took a moodle test on the story “My Name is Maria Isabel”. This was our first moodle test and Mr. Whitmer was there to help us navigate the site as well. You can access the test results at home! We also had some time to practice keyboarding. I taught the class how to upload their summer tech projects to the wiki today. I reviewed this today. Tonight, please upload your summer tech project to your wiki portfolios rather than emailing them. You will put your tech project on your “science” page and title it “Summer Project”! If your project is not a tech project, you will bring this into the classroom to share. If you have a tech project, you will be sharing from your wiki portfolio page on Thursday. Today we enjoyed Engineering Tech and Swimming!

Some of us have mail today!

*Please encourage your child to bring a water bottle to class so he/she does not have to leave class when thirsty!
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUR CHILD TO BRING SHARPENED PENCILS TO SCHOOL EACH DAY! PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR CHILD WITH A PERSONAL PENCIL SHARPENER TO KEEP IN HIS/HER BINDER!!!

REMEMBER TO GET YOUR PLANNER SIGNED EVERY DAY!
