Our New Class Photo

So have you seen our latest class picture? That's it above! Yes, we do look a little different than we usually do. These are our Avatars.

We have been using a new website called Bit Strips for Schools. Our first job was to create an Avatar. An Avatar is a picture or symbol to represent ourselves. Next we put our Avatar in a cartoon. We will be posting those cartoons on our Kidblogs, so check those out from time to time.

We are cartooning as part of our Being a Writer writer's workshop. The unit we are working on is called "Functional Writing." Functional writing includes recipes, writing directions, cartooning, and lots of other ways we use writing in every day life. We are having lots of fun!
