Technology is here!

We have had so much fun in our Non-Fiction Unit of study these past 5 weeks. We want to be able to share with you all the fun stuff we have created so...

Next week I will post the first installment of "Report Theatre." During our writing time, we have use iMovie to record our reports and make them digital. I will be posting them on the blog as we complete them. The kids have had so much fun reading something that they created. What a sense of accomplishment!!! You will be amazed at all the work these kids put into their reports to polish and publish them. Take some time to watch your student's report and praise them for all their hard work. They have just amazed me!

Also keep an eye out for pictures from our amazing trip the the Jacksonville Zoo. We had a great time!

Seplling Can be Fun!!!

Are you and your student struggling with the spelling words? Our grade level has discovered a great website that is free for you to use. It is called spellingcity.com. It has lots of fun games and puzzles that use the list of spelling words that are sent home each night. Starting next week there will be 2 ways to use the website. You can type the words in yourself or you can use the search tool to look up lists that I have saved. When you are searching for saved lists make sure that you include my name and the date on the spelling list. Allow your student to explore all the fun this website has to offer. I promise you will see a difference on spelling test. Again the website is www.spellingcity.com Check it out!
