This blog chronicles the adventures of sixteen third-graders as they read and reflect on E. B. White's 1952 classic <em>Charlotte's Web.</em> Our goals are to <em>increase reading comprehension</em>, <em>improve creative and evaluative writing abilities</em>, and e<em>ncourage thoughtful communication </em> through group activities, individual responses, and creative projects. We will use technology to <em>track our growth</em>, <em>promote accountability</em>, and <em>foster a sense of membership in a broad learning community</em>.

The weblog format allows students to have a lot to do with the creation of the website, in ways that will be empowering and exciting. A team of adult administrators will monitor all content for appropriateness, focus, and security. Feel free to use the comment feature or contact Mrs. Jacobson to communicate any concerns you might have-- or ask your student! They will become experts on this project as time goes on.
