These kids are working hard!!

The kids and I have had a wonderful month of learning in here.  I learned about a new program to make avatars, which makes a cartoon like picture of you.  So everyone got to make an avatar of themselves.  Then we took those avatars and loaded them into comic life and gave them a voice bubble to write what they are thankful for.  They look so great!  Then we took the comic life avatars and loaded them into voice threads.  Now we are adding our own voices to them to post to the blog.  If everyone is here tomorrow they will be up by the end of the day!  But today is what I am most proud of.  The students typed their own stories on the computers!!!  Yesterday each kid wrote about how they would cook a turkey (so funny to read) and today they started typing them onto the computers.  It is so amazing to watch such young kids working on the computers!  I'm so excited to think of new projects for us to work on this year!!

Spike the Spider

Our spider friend Spike is an escape artist and got out of his home 3 time this morning alone!  So unfortunately we had to say good-bye to him today.  We released him on the playground this morning.  We will go look for him or some of his friends and the wonderful webs that they make next week.  Maybe we will see him while we are on the playground...the kids sure are looking for him. If anyone knows of a better way to keep spiders in the classroom I would love to hear it!  We really did enjoy having him as a pet!

New Friends!!

We have 2 new friends in our classroom that we are very excited about.  We have Crystal the caterpillar, he is in a cocoon right now.  We also have a orb web spider, named Spike, who is hiding in a corner of his new home.  We hope that soon we will see some changes from them!  Today we made a hypothesis about what the caterpillar will look like when he comes out as a butterfly and what kind of web our spider will make.   Come back soon for updates about our friends!  By the way the kids names these friends all by themselves...aren't they great names!?!?
