Techno meets Morpheus

A couple months ago we got a class visitor and his name is Morpheus and he is a turtle. He had a blast while he was here. I did also. I got to stay with Morpheus the whole time he was here! We played outside and we played with the class.

When we went outside we got to play on slides and swings. It was so much fun playing with him. I was sad to see Morpheus go but he had to.

Hi, I am Techno Tiger! I am writing a Blog about Swine Flu. As you see I posted a Toondoo on this Blog. A while ago a bunch of kids got sick from the swine flu. Mrs. Abernethy's class did a bunch of research and started a wikispace to teach others about the Swine Flu.

Study Island

Have you ever wanted to take a test or pretest online? What about playing a game while taking a test or pretest? Well you can do that all on Study Island!

I have seen kids in Mrs. Abernethy's class go on study island. On study Island you can do all kinds of tests, like.... Writing, reading, and Math.They showed me that in the writing you can do, letters, prewriting, topic definition, spelling, and more .In the math session you can do, expanded notation, place values, number Theory and more! In reading you can do, character, summarization, and more! When you pick a topic, it will test on that certain topic that you picked.

Finally, you are able to select a game if you wanted to and also change the number of questions they give you. I think it is interesting to watch the class work hard on study Island.

Newspapers in our Classroom

Did you ever want to know how we get all of these newspapers? Well this is how. We have them delivered to the school office and Mrs. Abernethy gets them for us to read so we can post to you.
One time we were cutting out nouns and pronoun. We all had a newspaper and found some nouns and pronouns. Sometimes Mrs. A's class would get it mixed up and people would have to take the pronouns and nouns off.

Mrs. Abernethy's class posts news to this blog.We put facts from the newspaper. Today (1/28/2010) we just posted a new blog. Hope you can read it.

Robot Hall of Fame

Hi my name is Cody. New Years is always exciting but mine was better this year. I went to the Robot Hall of Fame at the Carnegie Science Museum in Pittsburgh!!! It was so much fun, because they had C-3PO and R2-D2 Astro Boy Robby and much much more. Take my word for it. You should go there. The museum has four floors and the hall of fame is on the 2nd floor, so if you go there you should go there first. On the first floor they have a gift shop and a place about earth and natural disasters. On the 2nd floor is the robot hall of fame and a train station for play trains. On the 3rd floor they have ocean life and kitchen lab. On the 4th floor they have a water room for the whole floor. So now you know all about the museum. You should go there!

Lego Train

Check out the Lego train my friend John made.



Hi I'm Techno Tiger. My friend John made this lego train. It took him 20 minutes to complete the train. He dissassembled it and now he has a truck. The train frame is from a set he got from his aunt. The train's body he made from sets he has collected over the last five years of his life. He got a lego train set last Christmas too. Legos are his hobby. Without them he dose not know what he would do.
