11-30-2007 (B Day) Happenings

We reviewed the Packer Contest and I checked supplies. We watched a Brainpop on the Water Cycle and answered the online Graded Review Quiz as a class. We read and discussed The Story: Part 3 from the Hurricane! book. Students watched Raging Planet: Hurricane and then reviewed and discussed the study guide questions as a class. I introduced the LRT wiki (mrbuckleyslrtwiki.pbwiki.com) and explained the wiki assignment to be completed.

Hey Mr. Buckley!
How do you put pictures on the wiki(from google or somewhere else)?

I have not yet tried to post pics so I can't tell you how to do it. If you figure it out, show me how to do it and you can earn 5 bonus points on your next blog log!

Hi Mr. Buckley! I was wondering if you could tell me again how to edit a page because when I try to edit Hurricane Danny, the page comes up blank. Thanks!!

McKenzie,

I'm not sure what the problem is. Stop by sometime and we can take a look at it.
