Do you have a project you would like to do in the library for Call of the Wild?

Yes, I am willing to do let the kids look at our posts. I sort of figured out the Google Earth but would like for you to come up and make sure I am accessing all the options before I recommend it to Leah. I am open tomorrow 5th and 6th periods! Yahoo!!!

The students can see what we are writing but they can't join the conversation by posting unless I grant them permission. Would you be willing to let them look at our conversations so they get an idea how it works? I would be starting this with the top group and then expanding it to the other classes if all goes well.

When do you want me to come and look at the Google Earth issue? I also need to show you where my SOITA books are kept.

Marylou,
Clearly, I am NOT good at checking this out!!! I will try to be more attentive to this.
Can the kids see what we are writing to each other?
If you decide to have the top group participate in a discussion for Call of the Wild do you want to book a period on a regular basis for them to do that in the media center?
If I wanted to do a discussion with my book club kids would I have to get permission from the school or just the parents?

Izzy just started wanting to go outside for short periods of time this week. She acts like she has spring fever!
:D

Right now the ponies are in the barn. They actually love the snow but I don't want them getting too wet and cold. Did both girls have to go to school? Thank goodness, we didn't have to try and drive back home. I think this is going to be a big storm. It looks like even tomorrow may be tricky.

I haven't decided yet if I want the students to discuss. I want to see how this communication thing goes with the adults first. I have a site set up for Call of the Wild and I'm thinking of trying it with the top group to see what happens. Of course, I will need to do the whole permission slip and lesson prep thing first before I launch.

I did get my sister-in-law to contact her friend in Poland. Hopefully she will be asking permission to join this discussion soon. That could be really fun for the students and the teachers.

Enjoy the snow! Is Izzy in the house?

Marylou,
Sorry I didn't check this out earlier. I really didn't do much with school stuff over the holidays. However, I am trying to check things during this snowy day. I amglad none of us have to drive home in what is sure to become a mess. I am hoping both daughters get home safely though. Do your horses like the snow or do you keep them in?
Are kids going to be on this discussion site?

I have changed my passwords to email and progress book. But senility is setting in and I can't remember what I changed them too. Can you email Tewks or send me a link with his address? I think I need him to tell me what I changed them too,

Old age is really a drag!@! I hope you are having a great break.
