I am super excited with how far my kids have come in their blogging. This is all they have done.
1. Gotten a gmail account
2. Created a personal blog, found a skin/theme for their blog
3. Linked to their friends accounts
4. Written, edited and published blogs posts
5. Added widgets to their blog
6. Added links and pictures to their blogs. I am very proud of them.
We are going to be working on : siting work from others, talking back and forth to others. Linking with people out of class.
Here is the blog site.

You can link to the kids sites through mine. I have had some students withdraw.
Math Lab- I had no luck in getting the parents of these kids to respond to notes home about signing permission for their kids to blog or work on line with google accounts. Sosososso.
In lieu of that possibility I set up a couple of centers.
1. Computers: kids work on larson’s math program a program designed to help kids build their skills sequentially in math. They are working on fractions and whole numbers—some decimals.
2. Netbook mini’s: kids are exploring different interactive math sites. http://mysbisd.com/math/ is my math blog and the kids can hook up with math sites from my blog or from library resources. Their favorites are Brain Pop, , Statetris, KidsCom Tangram, PBS Tangram, Jig Zone (puzzles), Interactive Mathematics, , Fun Brain, AplusMath, Coolmath, Gamquarium, , Math Fact Cafe,
