C4K Summary for February

Tyrone
I was assigned a student from Pt. England School in New Zealand, Tyrone S. Tyrone is a year 5 student in Mrs. Barks class. His class will frequently post assignments to the class blog. They have recently come back from their summer break so he had not posted recently. I reviewed his older posts and learned a lot about him. He had several video presentations of a mini cartoon that he drew. Tyrone was excited about returning to school and learning his times tables this year.
Hannah
Hannah is a student in 2KM at Leopold Primary School in Australia. Even at such a young age the kids in her class, as well as her, love to blog. Hannah's last post was a Halloween story that she wrote in class. The story itself showed a lot of creativity and promise in her writing. Unlike many of the children that we leave comments for, Hannah started her blog this past October and she is already blogging like a pro.
Jaehwan
Jaehwan is a young student in Ms. Eppele's class in Canada. From what I have gathered by reading his blog, is that he is originally from Korea. In many of his posts he will often refer to Korea and make comments about the bullying that is done or how he fines Canadian education easier than Korean education. His class often takes field trips and will later return to blog about them. Above all, Jaehwan enjoys writing creative stories but still needs to work on his spelling and grammar.

Amina, Charlene, and Jessica

Ferry Lane year 6's blog has collaborative blogs. I found this to be a great way for students to work together on projects and really learn team work. The three girls, Amina, Charlene and Jessica have several posts on creative stories that they have written. One particular story is their version of "The Three Little Pigs". In their story the wolf tries to blow down the pigs homes but in the end he climbs up to the roof and falls down the chimney into a pot of boiling water. Although simple, I found this to be a very creative twist to the original story. The girls have also included their own individual writings as well.
