Hello all,

When you click on the Symbaloo link on the front page of this blog (under School Links) it takes you to my Symbaloo account.  This is a way of bookmarking several outside links for easy access.  I am not sure how many people are using this but I have just added two new tiles for your use: Go Noodle and Michelle Stoney.  These are located on the left hand side underneath the tiles for RAZ-Kids and Zorbits.

Go Noodle is a site which hosts a collection of videos for you and your child to get physically active.  Most of the students know this site as Ms. Koebel used it in class when she was covering for me doing Reading Recovery last year.

Michelle Stoney is an artist from the Gitsxan Nation.  It is her Facebook account which, unfortunately, does keep popping up asking you to log in to Facebook.  You can keep clicking ‘not now’, or log in if you have an account.  I would not recommend the students getting an account.

The reason that I put Michelle Stoney on here is that there are loads of her drawing that she is allowing people to download and use / colour for free during this time.  It is a way for the students to see some authentic First Nations modern art and to explore their creativity in their colouring choices.

I hope your child enjoys these two sites.
