Summertime ICT!

Happy Summer! I hope you spend lots of time outside in the sunshine. I hope you read lots of books! And, if you want a little computer time, I hope you like the Tizmos page I made for you to use at home - and that Seed Ball game we played is on it!) Click right here to find it!

There's an Owl in the Shower by Jean Craighead George

I read There's an Owl in the Shower by Jean Craighead George. It was really good because it had a lot of true facts about owls. This sweet story is about a boy who sets out to shoot an owl family so his logger father can get back to work. But when an owlet falls from the nest and is identified as being an endangered species, the boy and his family decide to raise it. It was pretty funny because the spotted owl would take showers and watch TV with the father! You should try this book! It’s great!

Busy, busy, busy!

Ask any teacher their busiest time of the year and, chances are, they'll say May and June. End of the year responsibilities at school clash with the beginning (or end!) of sports seasons, with yard clean-up and getting the garden in, and with spending time outside in the warm weather. There's so much to be done! Children have been busy in ICT, too, working on research projects, videos, web searching, and reflecting on what they've learned. Watch this space as the year ends for samples of this student work!
