USN Lower School Computer Lab Blog!

Welcome to our Winter Break blog! We spent one or two class periods writing in the USN Lower School Technology for Learning Lab, in mid-January, about what we did over our Winter Break. For details about how each grade level approached this task, see the About the Winter Break 2007-8 Process page. Read on here about how to enjoy the remarkable internet document that is the result of our hard work. We welcome and encourage comments on this moderated blog.

Hello 3rd and 4th graders and their parents and friends!

We all did some pretty cool things over Spring Break this year. I took my two kids down to Disney World for a week of fun and frolic; but that’s not the point of this blog. The only reason it is here is to provide a place for my students to post comments describing how they spent their own vacation time. Whether it was a trip to the beach or hanging around the house, we’ll hear about it right here. 4th grade students will have just one class session to complete their post, so let’s get right down to it!

By the way, these posts are the result of an on-the-fly, first draft with a quick edit, process; they are not the usual Writing Process (1st draft, edit/revise, publish) procedure usually used in 4th grade writing.  Once students felt finished, I simply helped edit, and very quickly. I hope you enjoy the results as much as I do!

It’s all about blogging! Ready to read? Just click on the “Comments” link just below this one. To search for your child’s post, use CTR-F and type their name. Or just browse to your hearts’ content…
