Computer Programming

How is everyone's summer going so far? With this beautiful, sunny and warm weather, I thought some of you may be looking for something to do in front of a computer.

Read the following article: Creative Kids Win Kodu Video Game Design Competition.

If you own a PC and would like to investigate Kodu, click on this link.


Let me know if you end up creating something. I'd love to take a look at your work!

Maru!

I can't help but smile when I see a video of Maru the cat!

Have a Great Summer!

Thank you so much for the wonderful presents!  I am pleased to report that so far...

-The chocolate frog, the cookies and the chocolate bar have been eaten
-My yellow gardening gloves are no longer pure yellow (which is a good thing!)
-New flowers will start growing soon as seeds will be planted today
-The basil is still alive and looking happy
-I have found the perfect place for my new orchid
-I'll be drinking delicious tea today as I finish packing the classroom
-The necklace is still waiting for the perfect top to go with it.  A closet inspection is in order!


The cards I received were definitely my favorite part of the present.  When I came home on Wednesday I read them all again...  And I read them all to Geoff when he came home than night...  And I read them a few more times yesterday and this morning.  These words mean a lot to me.  I'll keep these cards in a very special place on my new bulletin board next year.   Thank you so much!  It was a pleasure working with you all, parents and students.


Make sure to come back this summer.  I'll continue posting stuff regularly.


Here's a video I shared with the class at the end of our poetry unit.
