<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>

Tuesday I updated the Shoesmith K blog with the sight words "flashcards". I also started prep on Ms. Lee's country project. I've been trying to figure out an efficient way to have approx 150 kids (+/- 10) each make their own PowerPoint slide to be combined into one slideshow for each class. I ended up screenshotting a sample slide I made up and then typing up an info sheet with a blank slide for the kids to write and draw out what they want. I'm hoping if they can fill out the sheet before they come to the lab to work with me, then it'll make the process a lot faster. I also finally managed to track down Mrs. Coleman and get the details of her literary blog hammered out.

Thursday I did some setting-up of Mrs. Coleman's literary blog. I ran into a problem though, because I couldn't set up a new cuipblogs user, so I couldn't add a student user to the blog.  Unfortunately, a miscommunication led to me teaching 10 of Mrs. Coleman's kids how to use the blog anyways - no matter, I'll just let them know their real login and password soon. During Mrs. Coleman's scheduled computer lab time, I also ended up letting five of her kids post on the blog and play around with comments and whatnot. It went well - but there's going to be a few weeks of adjustment and a learning period. I also showed the kids the audio recordings Sara had did for Ms. Lee and asked if they would be interested in doing a project like that, and of course they were, so that's an idea for the future. I also did some work on Ms. Henderson's blog and finally updated it. Sara came by and fixed the student user problem. I also updated the Shoesmith school website with new teacher webpages and info. I hope next week, once grades are all squared away, I can meet with more teachers than I did this week and get more things done.
