New Free Software! Google's SketchUp!

Ever want to design your own dream house? Ever dream of designing in 3D? Now you can! Google has created a wonderful free software called Sketch Up.

Parents, you can click here to download it for free, or to find out more about this software.

Students, if you try it out, be sure to email or print out a copy of what you create. I would love to post your creative works on the blog!

Alliteration!

Reading Class,

We've been working on identifying and writing our own examples of alliteration. Type your most creative example of alliteration to share with the rest of the class! You may make them silly, but they must make sense! Be sure to check your grammar and spelling, since this counts as a class participation grade! Due Date: November 30th. If you illustrate your example of alliteration, you may scan it in to the computer and post it as a picture!

Calendar Math: November!

Here is where you can post all your comments about the different components of Calendar Math for November. You can make predictions about the daily depositor, the patterns / observations you notice about the daily calendar, observations regarding the counting tape or, once a prediction is proven, post that too! Have fun blogging! Remember, for the month of November, all math students are to post at least TWICE.
