Fall Break…

As we prepare for the end of our 1st quarter and our anticipated fall break, it is fun to pause and reflect on some of our accomplishments so far:

> We have enjoyed using edmodo.com for assignments, discussions, polls, and friendly competitions. (Example: icivics.org for election appropriate games)

> We are in the final stages of writing our fiction stories which will be published on the blog soon.

> We have worked hard to reach our personal AR goals (Accelerated Reading) and will be celebrating with a harvest party.

> We are most excited to have connected with epals from New Zealand ( epals.com)

There is much to anticipate. Meanwhile, we're ready for a little break!
