Last Friday we went on our very first field trip to the Outdoor Center!! We had a blast learning about severe weather, animal survival and plants! Check out the video.... A special thanks to our chaperones and the Staff at the Walled Lake Outdoor Center for making our field trip such a special day!
P.S. A friend of mine, Mrs. Shoemaker was kind enough to play with this movie for awhile to get the quality to look really nice. On the bottom of the frame you will see a box with four arrows in the corner - click on that and select "original window". When you hit play it will look AWESOME!! Thanks Mrs. Shoemaker!!

There's been a new delivery at Dublin! We've added a paper recycling dumpster where anyone can come and dump their paper products to be recycled! Check out our first class trip to the recycling dumpster today.
P.S. We are having an all school contest to see which classroom can make the tallest stack of magazines to go into the recycling dumpster. Look how well we did after one day...

During the last week of school we met with our 4th Grade Buddies to create a holiday project! With donations of dozens of boxes of sugar cubes, spiced gum drops, skittles, twizzlers, suckers, etc. we had a VERY sweet afternoon together!

The signing of our Reader's Workshop Contract was eagerly anticipated after spending the first 10 weeks of school learning about our "role" as a reader in Readers Workshop!

The writers in 204 have spent the week working on color poems... Thinking back to when I was little, I found and shared this fun song with the kids. They insisted that I put it up on the blog. Enjoy!

Today I was fortunate to go with two of my technology colleagues, Mrs. Stoll and Mrs. Ozminkowski to a conference in Clinton Township. This morning we attended different classes to learn about new things we can do in our classroom with computers - we got a LOT of neat ideas! This afternoon the three of us spoke to other teachers about our classroom blogs! We were thrilled to present our blogs to teachers who want to start their own blogs!
I hope you had an excellent Friday with Mrs. Jones in 204! :-) Miss Phillips

Here I sit at home, around 9:45pm on Tuesday night and my email box has finally stopped receiving messages titled, "You've received a new blog article from ... to be approved"! My second graders have gone to sleep!
Today the kids learned how to post articles onto their own blog pages. They were THRILLED to give it a try after spending the past few weeks designing a picture on KidPix for their page as well as picking out the background to their page. We talked about internet safety and we took a tour of our blog page. We spent time practicing logging on and logging off. Finally, the writers were set free on their own pages and they magically transformed into bloggers!
Today we officially became BLOGGERS! Please use the navigation menu on the right-hand side of the page (yellow bar) to select Room 204 2009-2010 to see a list of student numbers in our class. If you know your child's number, feel free to travel right to their page. If you are here to check out our blog, feel free to select the numbers to see if a new blogger published today!
Please also know that blogging is very new to us and many of the kids were unable to fully complete their article today. To solve this problem we practiced learning how to save articles so that next Tuesday when we return to the lab, we can complete those articles!
Enjoy! :-)
