Voicethread

Guess what boys and girls...I'm in a technology class all Saturday. We're learning about Voicethread. You already know about Voicethread because we watched Mrs. Betts's 3rd graders use Photo Booth and Voicethread to show lines of symmetry. I created the beginning of a Voicethread for our Social Studies unit on Ancient Egypt's social classes. You will add your voice during this week. Start thinking of what you would like to say.
Have a great weekend.

Spelling Bee:

Our school Spelling Bee will be next Thursday, February 25 at 1:30 in the gym. Our class winners are:
Cailey, Austin, Alexis, Shyanne, and Caleb with Ethan and Ramela as our alternates. Study those challenge words in our spelling book and maybe even the dictionary. Good luck! Parents are invited to attend and support their child.

This Friday our class has earned a campout. We will move our desks to the hall and set up our tents, sleeping bags, lanterns, and flashlights. The kids can bring a drink and a snack. Some have volunteered to bring graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows to make s'mores. We will learn and have class as usual at our campsite. This should be a fun experience.

Please remember that next Friday, Feb. 26 is only a half day. Students will be dismissed at 12:00.

Have a great week!
