Dear Families,
I am finally back in Vermont and I am very excited about being back in the classroom with the students again. I had a fantastic conference and learned many new technology applications which we will implement in the near future. Please look for our upcoming newsletters and blog/wiki posts for exciting new learning opportunities. I already added a link to Scholastic’s Graphix program in our Technology section on the wiki (It is also linked here). I linked a sequential art story (comic strip illustrations) I created using another program which we will use in the classroom, but the Scholastic link is neat because students can utilize an already made template with characters, setting and speech bubbles. The finished product cannot be saved to a site, but it can be printed. Imagine the possibilities here….your child can print his/her own sequential art story. Please share them in class!
I hope the students had a great and productive week and I look forward to hearing all about it. Our unit on Ecology continues and today, your child will bring home five more vocabulary words. The words are: ecology, biome,habitat, climate, species. The attached texts are very helpful so please encourage your child to read them to help with comprehension within the context of our theme. Thank you!
Have a great weekend!
Regards,
Maria McCormack
