WE had a Wonderful Wednesday in room 204! This morning we worked in partnerships to help each other “dig deeper” for details to share in our brainstorming for the “Me You See” draft. In the afternoon we began working with our group on script to convince the “Greenworld Music Company“ to use either the best conductor of sound in the new speakers they will be building. Tonight, please look for a field trip letter on bright orange paper. 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 Spanish and Engage!

Our kids have been posting to the wiki already in class, but I do realize they may forget how! If that happens, there is a link on the blog for tech help and you can also encourage your child to call his/her buddy. We will be using the wiki to post work a lot, so it is important for us to practice!!!
