This morning, at around 9:05 we went to home ec. Most of us cooked, and some of us had to do work. Then when they were done cooking, the everyone got to eat some of the food. After Home Ec, we went outside for recess.
We came in and started reading reading our books for about 10 minutes until we were called down for bus evacuation. We learned how to evacuate a bus if we were ever in an accident. Anyways, after we finished that, we went back to class and continued reading for about another 10 minutes. After, the grade eights helped the grade sevens set up their blog on wordpress.com because we already had our blogs. We basically just played around on our wordpress blogs until it was lunch time.
When we were finished lunch we continued playing around with our blogs. And some people wrote an introductory blog post. Then, the grade sevens made their iGoogle accounts. To make an iGoogle acount you have to go to google.com or ca the click sight in it should be in the top right corner click on it. Scroll down click on create a iGoogle account and then put in the username etc. Then go to the email click on the link to iGoogle then you got them. You can change your background, add games and stuff like that. It’s easy to add games and stuff, because all you need to do is press “Add Stuff” and it shows you a list of things you can add to your homepage. Plus you can change the appearance of you igoogle too.
We had our afternoon recess, at around 2:05. After recess, we took out the smart board and were learning about how it works. The smart board is connected to a computer and he projector projects the computer onto the smart board. The smart board is like a big touch screen and it has these special markers for it to write on it with. We played some little game on it that had to do with he map of the world. When we were done, it was 3:30.

Hi Brady & Kennedy,
Cooking sounds like a great way to start the day! What did you cook and was it tasty?
You mentioned the grade sevens created their iGoogle pages and you gave the directions. I know that is helpful to students who do not have iGoogle pages and to anyone who was absent. You talked about adding games and stuff; can you share the reasons that you use the iGoogle pages and how for your learning?
Reallly like the Smartboard graphic and hope to learn more how you use the Smartboard in your classroom from future scribes.
Take good care,
Lani
