Edmodo

I introduced the students to Edmodo.com today. They loved it! I think if I would have let them work all day on this in the computer lab they would have! It is a social network designed for teachers and students. The reason I introduced them is because I have teamed up with a few teachers from across the country to create an Edmodo group where students can share what they are reading over the summer. The group is called My Summer Reading 2011. Hopefully, your child will read books and post messages on this board all summer long!

Follow us on Twitter @ camp

Can’t join us at 4^th grade camp? That’s okay; follow us before, during, and after camp on Twitter! If you are a member, follow 4thgradecamp on Twitter. Not a member of Twitter, that is still okay!

Here are some simple step-by-step instructions to help you follow all the action at 4th grade camp:

1.    Go to Twitter.com
2.    Search “4thgradecamp”

3.    Check back often, before camp, then during camp; leave Twitter open all day and refresh often!

Note: At camp, cell phone service is weak to non-existent but I hope this will work and I will be able to make posts!

This should be a fun way to let everyone keep up with all the fun that we are having at 4^th grade camp!

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Reading test... on the computer!

This week for the first time I created the reading test in a google form and we took the test online. It seems to have gone over well with the students. I am still trying to figure out how to report the student scores! Today I will be sending home a red 1/4 sheet with their score. I hope to continue to figure things out over the last few weeks of school. Let me know what your child is saying about the test or if you have any comments or suggestions!

We start MAP testing today with Language Arts. We will be testing the rest of this week and on Tuesday. Make sure your child is getting a goodnights sleep and eating a healthy breakfast each morning. I am excited to see our growth!
