3rd Quarter Report Card Is Out!

Another report card down, which means one more quarter left. Let's talk about how 3rd quarter grades went. Were you happy with your grades? Were you disappointed or surprised? Is there anything you would do differently in the next quarter?

Maybe your parents rewarded you ... maybe they grounded you. How did it go?

Teach Ms. D About Pokemon

When I was growing up, Pokemon was not around. Rainbow Brite, the Smurfs, G.I. Joes ... those were around. Teach Ms. D about Pokemon. I see a lot of students with the cards, but I just don't get it.

Here's your chance not only to talk about Pokemon, but to teach Ms. D. about them. Who knows, ... maybe I'll make up a project around Pokemon someday.

A few of the 4th grade classes just got done podcasting about tips for online safety. Please join them in making a gigantic list of tips students can use to stay safe on the Internet.

Remember, we may LOVE the Internet, but it can be a dangerous place. If we don't know how to protect ourselves, some pretty bad things can happen.

Check out the links below, watch the videos, and make a humongous list for future students to learn from.

iPad Apps ... Which Ones Should We Get?

So, ... we ARE getting the iPad 2 at the end of May. We might not be able to use them much this year, but that gives us, the teachers, time over the summer to get these ready for you, the students.

We want your help in selecting education apps (applications) to put on our new iPads. Here's a few links to get us started. Take a look at an app, read about it, and decide if we should get it. It's like your the critic.
