Welcome!
I am happy to report that Room 41 received so many great compliments from teachers and parents last school year regarding our classroom blog that I have decided to continue blogging with this year's Grade 4/5 class.
This will be a place where students can show-off the technical skills that they will be learning in class while keeping you informed of what is going on in the classroom and school.
Our goal is to update our classroom blog daily with some of the happenings in our class of the day. We will also post pictures, any end of the day notes that students write in their agendas, important dates that are coming up, links to educational sites that we use in class...you name it! Remember to bookmark this site for future reference. This site will be here for you and your child 24 hours a day 7 days a week!
I hope our blog becomes a useful tool of communication.
Please feel free to comment on the posts :)
Enjoy exploring and visiting the site!
