Blog Test

Yesterday, I left a post about how I would like to see how many and which students are reading my blog. This morning I only had 7 students who either left me a comment or printed the blog page. Maintaining this blog takes a good deal of time. I would appreciate it if students and parents checked it on a regular basis. Again, I will be awarding students who leave me a comment tonight or print the blog page for proof that they browsed the blog. If you are printing the page, please turn it in to me in the morning before we switch classes for a prize. Do not tell any other students about this, if you do you are disqualified.

Historical/Realistic Fiction Book Report

For our last report students need to create a technology presentation of their Historical or Realistic Fiction book. Students can create a Microsoft Power Point; use Photo Story, or Apple Movie Maker. Students will be bringing home information about this assignment this week. They will also be checking books out before the break and should start reading them immediately. There is nothing better than laying by the pool reading a good book!
