Mr Smith's Class

I thought Mr Smith's 4th grade class website was so cool and such a brilliant idea!  It really gets the students involved and helps them be creative and have fun and learn at the same time.  I first clicked on the "Back to Taiwan" tab to see what that was all about.  It is a bunch of learning based projects that connects the students to the real world while sitting in  the classroom.  They actually get to communicate with kids from schools in other countries.  I saw one called "Kwazulu Natal Friends South Africa" which is very close to where I am from, but for some reason the page wouldn't open.  But the rest of the projects were very interesting and looked like a lot of fun.  I thought the newspaper "The Fourth Grade Times" which they write every week was very cool too.  The students write, edit and put together all the articles and then get to read their articles aloud.  I thought the whole website was really good and a great way to give the students fun way to learn!
