We have two items on the agenda today and 45 minutes to get them accomplished, so work hard!
1. Blogging. Click this link:
http://kidblog.org/home.php and login to your blog with your first name and last initial. I will explain what your password is once everyone has arrived on "site". :)
2. When finished your post, check your email. Don't print, just read. When you are finished reading you can immediately begin working on a reply. Remember your letter format. Raise your hand when you are finished, so I can read your letter before you send.
For those of you with two buddies, many of you have not sent your first letter to your second buddy. Please do this! They are eagerly awaiting your reply.

We have spent a lot of time working on writing. Some of you really enjoy it, while others seemed to have some negative feelings towards the process. I want to know your thoughts about writing and so I have put together a survey for you to complete. Please be honest with your answers. Your feelings are your feelings and your marks are not based on them.
Please complete the survey you will find
here.

2. Now, click on this link:
Numbers.
