Class Wacky Web Tale

Jingle, Jingle!

Sing to the tune of “Jingle Bells.”

hugging through the woods
In a one-monkey open hummer,
Over the fields we go,
storming all the way.
pack on bob-tail ring,
Making spirits bright,
What fun it is to walks and swims
A sleighing song tonight!

Jingle cats, jingle cats,
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to shout
In a one-monkey open hummer.
wow!

Jingle cats, jingle cats,
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to shout
In a one-monkey open hummer.

We're having a little fun with these Wacky Web Tales today!  Hope you enjoy!

Agenda for our last day before the holidays

I'm afraid the proof was not in the pudding but that tells me that we need to chunk these skills down and work a bit more. While errors were corrected, in some cases you simply repeated the first story with a few minor changes. More was needed. Proofing is a hard skill and takes practice. I think the podcasts helped you but you didn't always apply what you noticed and learned. Don't get down, we'll just put our shoulders to the wheel again and work together to improve. We'll talk in class and brainstorm some more. I think together we can come up with solutions to become better proofreaders. It is a skill you will use your entire life. We teachers still proof our work and have others help us.I want you to be a part of the solution! This is something we need to spend more time on but since this is our last session before the holiday we will address this in the new year.

Today we are going to celebrate and acknowlege your efforts over the past few months. I am proud of how much you have learned in such a short time. We're going to have a little fun with language, learn more on the parts of speech, and create some Wacky Web Tales. We may even visit some other student blogs and do a little commenting.  Let the fun begin!

A Preview of Things to Come!

Oh, we have much to do! We have lots to discuss!  Strike up the band! Let the creativity flow as you use those blogical minds! Get ready to step up to the plate as we blog to learn, podcast to learn, write to learn, and wiki to learn. Who knows what else we may learn as we  collaborate, construct, communicate and celebrate!!!
