One Last Assignment

2009-05-31T22:42:00.003-04:00

Hello Students,
I hope you are remembering your sunscreen when you go outside. I know you probably are focused on summer and having fun BUT I am hoping you will take a moment to make me smile.

Here is how:
1. I am putting a SURPRISE in the mail tomorrow - FOR EACH STUDENT!
2. Later this week, check your mailbox (maybe your front door) and get your surprise.
3. Open up the SURPRISE.
4. Enjoy the SURPRISE - it requires a computer... that's all I'll say!
5. Post on the blog about the SURPRISE - thoughts and comments!

I hope you all enjoy the surprise because I had a fantastic time making it.

I miss you all already. I hope you are having great summers.

Hey everyone,
I spoke with some girls from Ms. Welch's class this afternoon. They were telling me about their blog. I would LOVE for you all to check out her blog because HOPEFULLY we can start blogging daily (like the 5th graders). I will be talking with Ms. Welch about this so I can get helpful hints.

THE WARNING that the girls told me:
IF YOU ARE BLOGGING DO NOT USE YOUR FULL NAME... only initials. We don't want to give away too much info because anyone can find our new blog.

Just wait to see what we'll be doing with this... in the mean time check out Ms. Welch's Blog.
