Welcome to 4th Grade

Hello 4th Graders, and welcome to Technology Class!

This blog will be your go-to resource for everything techie this year.

We will use this as a launching pad for your technology class on Thursdays, and during your combined Language Arts/Technology time on Wednesdays.

Today, we will spend a few minutes talking about what you can expect in technology class this year, and talk a bit about some class rules.

I'm looking forward to a great year!!

Let's finish out China Glogs today!

Hi 4th Graders,

Today we will finish our China glogs.  I know many of you are close, but have a few missing elements.  Be sure to take a close look at the checklist before you decide you are finished.  Be sure you have captions, and at least seven facts about China.

I wanted to share an example of a finished glog - amazing job, Rose!

When you are finished, you may make a choice to do Ticket to Read, Type to Learn, or Dreambox.
