Authentic Writing with Twitter

We are really working hard recognizing how important writing it.  We are discovering all the ways we need writing everyday.  One of our favorite ways is using writing to communicate.  We have written notes to each other, thank you notes to some classroom visitors, and have even started exploring writing on Twitter.  We have had several different students take turns photographing what we are doing and writing a tweet about what is going on in the classroom.  Once I have approved it, we send the tweet live.  We even used Twitter to send a thank you to the Cornelius Fire Department for their great visit - and were SUPER excited to to get a reply!  Follow us @MrsSchlegelRoom

Spelling Practice

We are becoming active users of Spelling City!  Once the words are uploaded by me, the kids can go on the app and start practicing spelling words!  They can play games and even take a spelling test!  Once they have passed the test, they can go on to practice the challenge words for the week.  It is a lot of fun and we are becoming better spellers in the process!
