Schoolyard Habitat

Hi! I’m Destiny! And I am going to tell you about the habitat! The habitat was created by Mrs.Abernethy. She thought it would be cool. There are a lot of terrific animals in our habitat! If you look hard enough, you can find things like burrows which are holes made by animals! You can also find things like cool frogs and toads! (Now I don’t know about you but I think that’s kind of weird!) Well, that’s all about the habitat for now! ~Bye~ Go to this site to learn more about our habitat: Our schoolyard habitat

Challenge 24

By: Jessica Hi. I’m Morpheus. I’m going you tell you about Challenge 24. Every Wednesday at 8:00, Mrs. Abernethy has a group of kids in her room play a game called Challenge 24. The goal is to make 24 out of a group of numbers. On a card there are four numbers. You can use subtraction, multiplication, division, and addition. It’s a really fun game!

Skyping

Hello! My name is Ben and I’m going to tell you about something called Skyping. Skyping is when you go on to a website called Skype.com and you can chat or hook up a webcam and talk to users. You can block out people you don’t want on your Skype list so that it is safe to use. You can use it pretty much whenever you want and wherever you want! It’s really fun and I encourage you to try it out. Mrs. Abernethy’s Cyber Chickens have been Skyping with Mrs. B’s class at Clarion School District. They skyped with us while Morpheus was visiting them. We got to meet him before he even got to Greenville. Today, Mrs. B’s class got to see him when we skyped!

Podcasting

By: Ashley Mrs. Abernethy’s class called the Cyber Chickens does podcasting. Podcasting is where you have an iPod or a microphone. You record things like talking about a book that you read or something going on in the classroom. Podcasting can also be informational like if you tell about a topic you are learning about. Watch for our Morpheus podcasts. Coming soon...

Morpheus and Chilly the Chinchilla

Hi my name is Colton and I’ll be talking about our class pet, Chilly the Chinchilla. I am one of the caretakers. I like taking care of Chilly. Every day I fill his water bottle up and fill his food dish, and dump his bedding. Then I put fresh bedding in. He is really soft like cotton, and fun to play with too. He gets a dust bath sometimes. His dust bash is in his cage so he can take it anytime he wants. He has a big cage so he can run around. He likes to chew on stuff like wood. If you want to learn more about Chinchillas, check out this site: Chinchillas That’s all I have to say. Bye.

Series of Unfortunate Events

By: Dylan The Series of Unfortunate Events is a place where you can learn all about the series. Our class made a blog and we put a bunch of our class papers and projects on it. There are podcasts on the website that are awesome. There are more things on the website, too. Morpheus has been looking at the Series of Unfortunate Events Blog Site and he thinks it's cool. You should really check it out! Here is a link: Series of Unfortunate Events

Tornado, my buddy

By: Amanda Hey! Morpheus here. On my trip to Greenville, PA East Elementary School I made a buddy. His name is Tornado. He is a bearded dragon living with the students of Mrs. Abernethy's Cyber Chickens. We hung out and had fun over the week days. When the kids went home I sure missed them, but Tornado was right there for me. Here is a link to information about Bearded Dragons: Bearded Dragon Lizards

Welcome to East Elementary

Listen to our theme Song

powered by ODEO
By: Casey, Kristen, and Marie Hell0, I'm Morpheus Fortuna and I finally made my way to East Elementary! It's amazing and awesome! When I arrived the kids were doing Study Island. I jumped right in and earned a blue ribbon. The next day was full of fun!! I couldn't believe it when 60 kids arrived a half hour before school to play this really cool game called Challenge 24. After the bell rang, Mrs. Abernethy's Cyber Chickens arrived. The first thing I did was help clean the pet cages, and it rocked! The kids took turns holding me. I got to see almost everybody. Then we posed for pictures, I was a professional model! All the kids are writing paragraphs about what they are doing in class, like Project Lemonade and Wolves projects , (you can check them out soon.) Then, there was math. I found a new seat just for me! We corrected the homework. I learned a lot! I got to see how to make a PowerPoint. They are sweet! Then we had library. I got to see some neat books. Lunch was next, and boy, it was yummy! That's all for now. I'll tell you more tomorrow, because the kids have to go home, and I want to say goodbye.

Toured the State Capitol

Hello,

Well, it is cold and snowing in central Pennsylvania. So, what better to do than to walk from PDE to the capitol building (did I mention that it was snowing). While there, I was able to see the Senate chambers and the chambers for the House of Representatives. They have a really cool website that lists all of the senators and representatives names, the different committees there are, you can look at different legislation that they are working on while they are in session and even take a virtual tour of the capital.

On our way back from the capitol, we met Dr. Zahorchak, the Secretary of Education for the State of Pennsylvania. He actually invited me to stop by and say hello to him later on today!!!

Bye for now.

I have arrived at PDE

I have successfully arrived at the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Specifically, I'm visiting the Bureau of Educational Technology on the 14th Floor. I've met some new friends and was given a new hat to wear.

While I'm here in Harrisburg I hope to meet the Director of Educational Technology for PDE and maybe even visit the State Capital.

More coming soon.
