Lots of creative ways to give us a snapshot of life in their schools. These are some of the folks who wrote in last week to tell us what's new on their sites: Mrs. Nash's Class, Cumberland Elementary School in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin "I use some of the displays on my site to let parents and grandparents see some of the nice work my class has done. We create book projects to help with our oral presentations. The students use the projects to demonstrate certain highlights of their book as they give their book report in front of classmates! Also see our "Quilt Project" section. We read books about quilts, did a few math activities with quilt blocks, and then created our own Underground Railroad Quilt. Check it out!"

They often expand on stories in their readers and create their own classroom story books. We have created a website library on our site to share those classroom books the first graders have created and can read/share on line with family and friends. One such book on which they decided to create their own variation was The Story of Chicken Licken." They chose their characters, chose the story in which they are portrayed, and drew the illustrations. They did a phenomenal job. It is worth checking out. Please peruse our other classroom books: Down by Wood View and Animals Should Definitely Not Wear Clothing. Enjoy!" URL: http://myschoolonline.com/site/0,1876,15715-124177-21-14575,00.html Mrs. Kelly's Second Grade, Seton Catholic School in Moline, Illinois "I wanted to share my web site with you. My second graders and I have recently added information about some of our activities, like our classroom pet exchange, our Flat Stanley project and much more! Our class pet even has his own page! Thanks for visiting!" URL: http://myschoolonline.com/folder/0,1872,17029-140567-21-36432,00.html Let us know what's new on your site so we can feature you in an upcoming newsletter. *********************** Clip Art Library Update *********************** Add some zip to your webpages! We've added scores of new images for you to use on your webpages, including several animated graphics. Log in to the webCreate tools and see what's new in the Clip Art Library. ***************************** Need Some Help? ***************************** Newsletter Article Archive URL: http://myschoolonline.com/article/0,1120,36-20561,00.html How to Use Drag-and-Drop Code Mrs. McGowan showed us how to use drag-and-drop code on her mixed up sentences page last fall. It's simple to do and makes some great study and review pages for your students. Use this link for samples of the code and directions for building your own interactive pages.

As you and your site helpers add pages to your site, the pages are added to the long list on the left side of your screen. It gets harder to find just what you're looking for quickly as the list continues to grow. That's where folders come in. Here's our tutorial on creating and using folders.
