Hi Students

While I am sweating it out this morning coaching badminton on the courts of Suzhou Singapore International School you will be spending the morning with Mrs Erickson.

From 8 am – 9am I would like you to spend all your time on the scholastic news site.  You can read anything you like on there, I especially direct you to the kids section but I don’t want you playing any games yet…NO games, hear me? Then at 9 am and not a minute before you may take a look at this section and have a bit more fun if you like.

Some of our budding writers in the class might like to have a look at this fun with fiction section where you can have your own story published…imagine that all you young writers, I say “Go for it!”

At 9.30 am I want everyone to navigate away from these pages and onto their blog where you will do exactly what I have done here and post about scholastic news and what you found out. Keep the previous posts open so that you can link to them easily. Please discuss at least three of the things you learned about today and make sure you link. Remember that in school this quarter we will be looking at poetry, healthy, puberty and fantasy stories among other things so keep your eyes open for relevant articles.

Wish me luck and bye for now!
