a Cincinnati Night Before Christmas author visit

Ms. Nadine and Ms. Marilyn came to our school today to share how their book A Cincinnati Night Before Christmas was written and illustrated.  Students had such real-life connections to this story because the setting involves all places from their hometown Cincinnati.  These two amazing women have donated all their proceeds from the book to adoption agencies throughout Cincinnati.  As of date they have donated over $31,00.00.  

Students enjoy their new books that will be a family tradition for many years to come.

Interland to teach Digital Citizenship

This was my first year using Google product, Interland, to help teach Digital Citizenship.  I used it with my 4th graders and they LOVED it!  Once again Google has created a magnificent product that will only keep getting better.

Here are the survey results that I gave my students after they completed the four kingdoms on Interland.  This was a quick way for me to assess their learning.
