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! :-)

Last night I saw a link posted by a friend online about Noah Biorkman, a 5 year old boy suffering from Cancer with a terrible prognosis. Noah's family decided to give him Christmas early this year, in fears of him not making it until December 25th. To help Noah celebrate his very special Christmas, the "elves" of 204 sprung into action. After watching the video at this link: http://www.clickondetroit.com/seenon4/21522646/detail.html the kids of 204 decided that they HAD to help and instantly the red, green and white paper was flying in the air, stickers were everywhere and the sounds of scissors and marker caps filled the room.
Take a look at what I saw...

Room 204 had a fantastic afternoon Friday as we went on our first indoor Halloween Parade and then had an awesome party in our classroom. A BIG thank you to ALL of the parents that helped plan this special event! :-)

Today was the first day that the second graders of Room 204 got onto the blog and designed their own page. If you click on the lefthand side of our main blog page you can see Room 204 2009-2010. Clicking on that link will allow you to see each child's magic number and their blog page!
I'm so proud of the work our bloggers have done for their page including... they logged in for the first time,creating a kid pix picture of themselves for the page, and designing their own backgrounds. Next week we tackle posting articles!!
Welcome Aboard New Bloggers!! :-) Miss Phillips

Wow! Here we are back in the Computer Lab working on our new second grade Blog! From my perspective I see LOTS of eager typers and LOTS of red cups! We use red and blue cups to communicate in the Computer Lab. Blue cups tell me that everything is swell at a given computer. Red cups tell me that a blogger is in need of help!
I sure am excited to see the enthusiasm the kids have towards the Blog and I'm eager to show them all of the neat things we can do!
Keep up the super-duper work 2nd Grade Bloggers!! :-) Miss Phillips
