A Note From Ms. Fay

Hello, Readers! Welcome to this internet blogging site! As a teacher, I always try to come up with new and inventive ways for my students to express themselves, learn and play. When I was in fourth grade, my teacher, Mrs. Applebottom, had us write logs of our adventures about the town. How passe! It's the 21st century, hello! My net savvy students will be carrying the Applebottom torch, but with a fun new techno spin!

My fourth grade class will be practicing writing this quarter by writing essays about all the neat things they see around the great city of Chicago! There are so many cool activities to enjoy here, and they'll be seeing it all (if they remember their permission slips!!)

So get ready, kids! Put down those pencils and paper (got to be green!) and pick up a computer (figuratively of course unless it's one of those lap-tops!), a camera, and your imagination!

We hope all you readers in Cyberland leave lots of helpful comments and maybe even your own Chicago stories to help these awesome students learn and grow!

Thanks a bunch of banana cream pie,

Ms. Fay
