Student Thoughts about their Math Wiki
http://langwitches.org/blog/2010/02/24/student-thoughts-about-their-math-wiki/

Are you taking a "risk" as a teacher by "taking precious classroom time" to have students work on a wiki? Does this kind of "project" support the way students learn? Is it a tool that is/can/will help transform teaching?
As I thought of and suggested to my Middle School Math teacher to create a Math wiki [...]

Greenwood 4th Grade Light the Night 10th Anniversary!

2009-07-08T17:20:00.002-05:00

All of you who are 4th grade Light the Night Alumni and everyone else on my page who might be interested, please consider donating to help rid of these horrible blood cancers! This is our team's 10th anniversary year with the Greenwood 4th grade Team being a member of the Springfield Light the Night for all the years it has been in Springfield.

Last year my 4th graders raised $6753.58! Isn't that remarkable? This year, we want to top that figure. We are making a difference in our community, and even have several leukemia survivors at our school. I'd like to think we made a difference for not only them, but for others in our community who are battling this disease. You are more than welcomed to join our team, making it more of a Greenwood team than ever on this 10th year, or just consider making a donation of $10 in commemoration of our 10th year. All new 4th graders need to register self and family members!
Welcome to our Team's Homepage

Light The Night Walk is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's evening walk and fundraising event. It is the nation's night to pay tribute and bring hope to thousands of people battling blood cancers and to commemorate loved ones lost.

Spellers' Bill of Rights

2009-05-27T13:16:00.003-05:00

In her November 1996 article in Primary Voices, Sandra Wilde suggested the following:

The Speller's Bill of Rights
1. The right to express yourself in first-draft writing regardless of what words you do and don't know how to spell.
2. The right to do a lot of reading, which is probablythe greatest single factor in spelling acquisition.
3. The right to actively construct knowledge about the spelling system.
4. The right to developmentally appropriate education in spelling.
5. The right to learn that spelling does matter.
6. The right to know about and have available a lot of ways to come up with spellings (including just knowing how to spell the word).
7. The right to learn to proofread.
8. The right to have spelling placed in its proper context as a small piece of the writing and language-learning process.
9. The right to be valued as a human being regardless of your spelling.
