Miss Augustine's Kindergarten class and Mrs. Stevens' Second Grade class are collaborating on documenting the process and progress of the building of our new elementary school. There have been many changes that have happened already! The purpose of this project is to have an authentic purpose for applying literacy skills. Technology tools will also play an integral part of this experience. We have been fortunate to have acquired three iPod Nanos to use for recording both audio and visual information. We have a blog that our “student newsreporters” are using to document observations and questions as well as to serve as a communication tool to a real and global audience.

You can access the blog by clicking HERE.

We are hopeful that students will receive comments that will excite them and encourage their writing. Please feel free to log on and leave comments to students! Students can continue to blog from home as well. We hope you will share the link with family and friends. As our Clustermap grows students are excited to see the amounts of hits and locations of where people are viewing our log from.  Our blog also features a link to a digital timeline created with the use of Dipity. Watch the changes with us!!
