What Other Teachers Are Doing
*****************************
What do our spotlighted teachers include on their websites? 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!"

Mrs. Anding's First Grade, Wood View Elementary in Bolingbrook, Illinois
"Our first-grade class loves to read. 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!"

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!"

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.

Working with Folders
It's time to do some spring cleaning on your website. 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.
