Reading about Dexter...

10-18-11
Aloha Room 28 Bloggers! 
It sure has been a while!  We took a short break to concentrate on our first quarter assessments and had to leave "Dexter" aside.  Now that we're back on track and reading more about Dexter, we sure are learning a LOT more!  We even met a new character...Robin!  Hmmmm...I wonder how Robin will influence Dexter?  I wonder if Robin and Dexter will begin a new friendship?  Your next assignment is to read chapters 9, 10 and 11 by Friday, Oct. 21.  But before you read, make a prediction.  If you've already read up to chapter 11, do a BLOG-response to the text.  You can do one of the following, or choose to respond in your own way! 
Response Ideas:
-Make a connection to Dexter or Robin
-What new information did you learn
-I wonder....
-This reminds me of...
-In these chapters, my favorite part was...

I'll be waiting for your response to Dexter, the Tough!  (or is he?)...
Aloha,
Mrs. Wong =)

Realistic Fiction Book Project #1 (Reflections)

Aloha Room 28 'Ohana!
It's been so wonderful to listen and learn about  all the "realistic-fiction" stories you've all been reading!  Mrs. Long and I appreciate the time you put in to completing your book project (puppet and written report).  Please take some time to reflect on your learning when typing in your comment.  Share your thoughts about the first book project.  Share a "STAR" (Something you enjoyed, learned, or just something positive, etc...) and also share a "WISH" (Something you could improve on, or something you didn't enjoy doing, etc...).  We would LOVE to hear your "voices!"  
Mahalo,
Mrs. Wong and Mrs. Long

Technical Difficulties

Greetings, Room 28 Blogger! 
Thanks so much for being so patient as we try to update our classroom and school lab computers to try and fix our "technical" difficulties.  This past Thursday, a few students tried to post their first comments, but were disappointed to learn that their comments could not be posted.  They did, however, enjoy reading the welcome message and was excited to get started! We later learned that it was just those "selected" few computers that didn't work.   Let's hope by next week, we will be able to get some comments posted on our `Ohana Blog! 
Have a wonderful weekend with your family and friends!  See you on Tuesday!  I can't wait to see your "puppets" and read about your character's problem and solution! 
Aloha,
Mrs. Wong

Welcome Room 28 'Ohana-Bloggers!

Aloha!
If you are reading this message, you have successfully logged on to our Room 28 'Ohana Blog!  I am so excited to finally get this "Blog" project up and running!  I am awaiting on more "bloggers" to turn in their permission forms so that they can get in on the FUN as well!  As soon as I get all papers in, we can surely begin our journey! 

I have to credit Miss. Lilli and Mrs. Tamashiro (Alyssa and Aaron's teachers) for inspiring me to use MORE technology in the classroom!  If it wasn't for Miss. Lilli, I would not have this wonderful blog to share with you!  Miss. Lilli is now back on the U.S. Mainland, but I do hope she will return to teach in Hawai`i.  My daughter, Alyssa, was so fortunate to have her as her teacher!  Mahalo and Aloha, Miss. Lilli!

Since this is my first time having a school blog, I am going to be learning along with YOU!  I will try my best to make our "blog" experience to be an adventure in itself!  I can't wait to use it in ALL of our subject areas, so let's work together to make this a success!  Are you ready BLOGGERS???  On your mark.....get set....
LEARN!  Aloha for now...Mrs. Wong

Be on the lookout for the next posting.....coming your way soon! (Let's encourage our class 'Ohana to return their blog-permission forms).
