Grade 3 Rocks!

Quick Update from Team M&M
Computer- This week we experimented with using Google Docs.  The children were so eager to work on a collaborative document with their peers.  Each partnership collaborated to create a story based on a funny picture.  They took turns adding lines to their story.  They were able to work together on this document, even though they were sitting on the other side of the room.  They were able to write a story together without even looking or talking to each other.  It was so fun to see their faces light up with excitement!

We are looking forward to becoming more familiar with Google Docs and using this for future projects.  We asked the children for suggestions and they came up with quite a few.  Some include writing book reviews, having a digital book discussion and even writing their very own books!
