Class #10: Music & Monsters

In today's class, we sang some musical circle games and drew collaborative monster pictures.

Class #9: The Changing Season

As the winter melts away into Spring, we're exploring the woods...
Finding interesting treasures...
And then heading back to school to blog about it!

Class #8: Making Homes in the Forest

We're combining the wonderous Spring weather with our blogging practice! This week's outdoors adventure had us exploring the woods around the school's "fire pit," and making small homes and forts in the terrain there. (Watch how I link this post to other posts...)

First we found a "Woolly Bear" caterpillar on the snow!
Then, when we got out into the woods, we found lots of fresh deer tracks...
... and some other stuff the deer left behind!
We improved some of last year's stick huts out on the rocks.

We also used the log bridge (built by the Soonipi class) to get across a flooded field.

Class #7: An Adventure with a Camera

For this week's class, we ventured out into the woods and followed a stream of meltwater down through some wetlands and rockfields.

Students watched for scenes and details they wanted to photograph for their blogs, and near the bottom of the stream's run we built a system of "bridges" for fairies (a common interest of the students).

When we came back to the school, we used the rest of our time to process the photos and blog about our adventures!

Class #6: Blogging Our Adventures

This week, we went out into the forest in search of adventure. We decided to collect dry wood for the bonfire at this Friday's Winter Carnival.

This is Trevor:

Trevor came with us and helped us break up the larger pieces of wood.

Here's the woodpile we helped to build:

Then we came back in and updated our blogs about our adventures!

Class #5: More Posts & Comments

We posted new posts (the first in a month!) and commented on each other's blogs today.

Class #4: Posting & Managing Our Blogs

In today's class, we looked at some of the management controls we have on our blogs. Here's what we did, so you can try it at home.

We also looked at what happens when you use your SETTINGS / PUBLISHING controls to change the URL of your blog. (Any other links to the old URL are then broken, and have to be updated!) IF you absolutely MUST change the URL of your blog, let Marek know ASAP so he can fix your link on the HIS Computer Club blog page.

Then we posted to our blogs, and commented on each other's blogs.
