We are using the poem "Sick" by Shel Sivlerstein. We are using this as an example to have students create their own digital story this will fulfill State standard one which states: oral language students will develop language for the purpose of effectivly communicating through listening, speaking, viewing and presenting. This will introduce the project to the students and provide them with opportunity to learn oral communication and technology skills. We will be using photostory to create our digital story.

The First Day of a new Adventure!

So, this is my first blog entry and ... I am very excited. I have decided that this is going to be focused on the happy moments in a day. There a so many and we will get to reflect on them.
