Wednesday! Wow!

So today our school had our 3 R's Party for our students who are consistently

• Respectful
• Responsible
• Resourceful

Did you make it to the party? If so, how was it? If not, what can you do NEXT time to make sure you do?

It's been a LONG short week!

I don't know about you guys, but this has been one of the LONGEST short weeks I've ever had! What made it feel so long? I think it's always hard to come back from an extra day off. Somehow our minds just want to stay home! Especially when it's so brrrrr.....cold out! But we worked extra, extra hard on writing persuasive letters, studying about angles, coordinates, and sequencing, and practicing getting "4's" on open-ended math questions! So tell me, what was the best and the worst of your week? 

Shout-Out to YOU!

Guess what? There's a shout out for our class on Hoops & Yoyo's BLOG!!!! You need to go to their blog and look under Tuesday, February 12- shouty-shouty shout-outs! (or better yet, click here: Hoops & Yoyo Blog.)Find our names under the bullets! What do you think about that? Pretty cool, huh! Is there anyone YOU would like to give a shout out to? If so, who? And what would you like to tell them?

We've got the PSSA Spirit!

Room 214 made a cheer and dance! Here's the chant we made up:

I don't know but I've been told
Rowen School will get that gold!
We're working hard to be advanced!
PSSA's- you've got no chance!

Can you think of a cheer to get our spirit going?

What did YOU do today?

Today we had fun working on the computer. We learned about podcasts, saw pictures of our class trips, and began writing a script for our first podcast. We also visited our favorite website- Hoops and Yoyo- and saw the new manner lesson they had up. Let's hear what the class has to say about the experience...

Having a Blast!

I'm just having the best of times with my computer class. I never really had a chance to take classes for pure pleasure before. We're doing all sorts of things- many of which I don't quite have a complete handle on yet. It's strange. I've always been a natural techie, but now I find that I'm moving much more slowly, taking more time to process things when computers are doing the opposite and processing faster and faster! I can't wait to teach my class all of these cool things. What do YOU think guys? Excited?

Hoops and Yoyo

Have you had the pleasure of visiting Hoops and Yoyo's website? It's definitely worth the trip. One of my favorite links at their site is past homepages. Some of them are so funny, I laugh so hard I cry! Check it out. Let me know what YOUR favorite thing is that you found.
