Our classroom routines and staying within time limits are getting better each week. We had time to blog this week! Students that have not had the opportunity this week will do so on Monday. Since we have been discussing characters and narrative elements, our blog questions are about these two topics.
One blog question I had for them was to identify the character and setting. Two responses were
That Lilly Etta’s best friend is evicted from her house and know she is mad. The main character is Lilly Etta. The story is taking place in the city.
lilly etta is the main character the story is taking place at lilly etta aparment wear she is moving out.
Next week I will pull up the blog responses for the students to see as I discuss using formal register, punctuation and complete sentences. I will show them how to respond to each other's posts and introduce the new blog posts for the week.

New Year, New Grade
This year I am teaching an awesome group of fourth graders! I am inspired by their ideas, willingness to help and love for learning! So far, our classroom technology tools have not cooperated, but I am hopeful that by the end of next week we will have a working Smartboard and laptops that have internet access. On Tuesday, during our computer lab time, I will introduce Kidblog, our first technology tool for learning. I am very excited and know that these students will be also. They will get to choose from two blog posts since we were unable to begin last week. I am excited about what they will share through this type of learning tool!
I have been thinking about my goal from Pinnacle training this past summer. While students are blogging, I am planning to jot down my first story about this group! :)
