Favorite Website

What is your favorite website to go to and why?

Write a comment that posts a link to that website and write a couple of sentences telling other students what you like about that site and what they should do there!

Here is my example:

Right now I've been having a lot of fun learning all about The Gold Rush and playing the Strike it Rich! game on the PBS website. The link to play the game is:


http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/goldrush/sfeature/game.html

On that page, click on the Strike it Rich title right under the picture of the map of California. When you play the game you get to pick a character who comes to California during the Gold Rush and you have to make choices about whether to mine for gold or start a business, what to buy with your money, and when to save your money. Sometimes there are unfortunate accidents like fires but hopefully you can make it through the game alive and strike it rich!

Welcome!

I am just beginning my second week in a wonderful 4th grade classroom and I have created this blog to give my students an opportunity to share their ideas, stories, and work! I'm hoping that it will encourage an interest in writing via technology and provide for a great deal of excitement and fun!

So I would like to hear from my students...what would you like to share on the blog? Pictures, stories, artwork? Let me know your ideas!
