Today we started class by discussing upcoming assignments.  We have a newsletter and brochure due at the end of the month.  We practiced making out own newsletter and then looked at others'.  This is a super useful skill to know because it is a very easy and catchy way to communicate with parents.  It is quick and easy and if done well, it will draw parents' eyes to important information.  Moreover, we watched three presentations of websites which are useful to use as a teacher. I really like the idea of using flickr in the classroom because most students are drawn to pictures.  The more pictures I can show in my class, the more interested they will be in the lesson. Visualization also helps them understand and learn the information.
