Tweeting

We are working on using Twitter in my classroom. We have started to do "Tweet Boards" and create character profiles from the books we are reading. My students and I are learning and making mistakes together. It has been a fun experience! Today we used character profiles and created ones from Letters from Camp. The kids were forced to think in a different way. They had to become the character and create a profile and a post as if they are the character...it takes their level of understanding to a different place.

Letters from Camp

We just finished up creating projects to teach about Letters From Camp.  The kids did a great job.  I am very proud of them!  Here is one video that was done very well!  I wish I could show them all!

Welcome Back!!!

Welcome back to school!!! I am looking forward to a new year. If you scroll through the blog you will notice that last year I only used the blog a little bit and the year before I used it quite often. Well, last year we started using Edmodo as a way to showcase work and what was being done in the classroom, so I mainly focused my efforts there. I am going to strive to do both this year. I will also have a twitter account. Twitter will be a new adventure for me, for I have never used it before. Parents, feel free to follow me @5bmonkeys . I am looking forward to meeting all of you! Hope you had a great summer and are ready for a fantastic year! See you at Meet the Teacher! P.S. Sky Ranch information will be coming home soon. It will cost approximately $220.
