Government Visit
 |
| Comic Create by Bob - Technology in the classroom |
Today we had people from the government come in to see what effect the netbooks have on our learning. I believe they have a positive effect and I hope that the government thinks so too.
When we have the netbooks we can play math games on the class website, write on Microsoft word and listen to reading on tumble books. Not to mention lots of other things that we can do on the netbooks.
We have lots of fun, we enjoy ourwebsite, and we hope you liked being a part of our class as we used technology to help us learn.

Student Writing Samples Coming Home Today
The student will be bringing home sample of a narrative today, as well as a sample of an appropriately written piece from another grade 4 student in New Brunswick. The studenst were to write down the following instructions on their page, and we discussed the steps in class.
1. Read your story to your parents (rough copy)
2. Parents are to read "Butterfly Dancer" (photocopy)
3. With your parents, compare both stories
4. Directions will also be on the blog (and here they are)
First, I would like to draw you attention to the fact that the "Butterfly Dancer" meets the expectations for the end of grade four. We can use this example to help gauge the progress of each student, and make recommendations as we move forward with the lessons about writing. With this piece of writing, there is a description of each of the 6 writing traits we are working on, and the rationale for "Butterfly Dancer being labeled "Appropriate".
In this assignment, student began with a comic strip to organize their ideas into a beginning, middle and end. As well, they were instructed to create a problem and a solution. From here, students used each block of the comic to generate paragraphs for a story with each paragraph focusing on only one block of the comic. In some cases, students had to combine more than one block in a paragraph.
Students, with the exception of a couple, are bringing home a hand written rough copy. This is a valuable piece of the writing process as it allows you to see the revisions and edits that may have been made. If students were able to complete this process in due time, they were able to use Microsoft Word to publish it and/or an internet based program for publishing comics.
There have been numerous conferences with peers and the teacher during this writing process. Students bringing this sample home is a continuation of this process since it is an opportunity to evaluate their own work. Please return the signed writing samples, and on Monday the students will write in their journal about the home conference to record their thoughts.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Have a great weekend.

Quotation Corrections - After a Technical Adjustment
For those of you who use various technologies often, you might appreciate the way one technology can malfunction only to be replaced by another technology. Today, our projector decided to play dead, so our lesson on quotation marks hit a snag. Luckily, our classroom blog is an established part of our classroom routine. After making a quick, on-the-spot post, the students were back in business.
As you will see from the sentences below, not all correction are quotation marks. This generated quite a few questions from the students, and required them to look closely, and think critically about the use of quotation marks.
"Have a great night!" exclaimed Mr. Carr.
Please correct these sentences:
Ryan said that he and Matt would play basketball after school
Mom said while you play basketball, I'll bake cookies
Ryan asked when Matt could come over to play
Mom answered that Matt could come over after lunch
