Good morning class,

Please write a brief description of our class wiki site. What is it? How do we use it? Why do we use it?
What do you like about it? We are doing this so that visitors of our class wiki will have an idea about what it is all about.

1.This website is one of the best additions to the classroom ever!
2.We are currently doing tons of stuff. We have a calendar on our wiki that tells us what we are going to do that day. We have videos to help us. We can comment on each others work so that we know what was done wrong! We even have some music so we don't get bored when were doing our work. And now our wonderful teacher is allowing us to bring our iPods and Mp3 players to school, and record stories that we have written!!
3.I like the fact that i can have fun, learn, and still get a good grade for doing something that i like to do!

1.This website is a place where we do tons of stuff concerning books. We do summaries on it , vocabulary words, cause and effect, and describing a character.
2.All you have to do is go to the weekly calendar and check what yo have to do.
3. We use this website to do different activities on a certain book.
4.The thing I like about it, is that we get to create our own things and then post it on the Internet.
Sit down and relax. Enjoy this site.
