PowerPoint Creators

My AIG girls have gone wild over PowerPoint recently. The 3rd grade girls are creating a Math Vocabulary presentation that they will continue to add to as new information is discovered. The 4th grade girls have started creating one as a Reader Response Activity to the novel they are reading. They have discovered how to change backgrounds, add text boxes, add pictures, and add new slides. They are having fun changing fonts and pictures (too much I am afraid). We may even add some sounds and slide transitions. Lydia is even adding some animation to her creation.:) After they work on their projects a few more days, I will post them using voicethread so we all can see what they are working on.

Introduction
Math Thing
O.k. first of all today was the best day ever in AIG!You won't beleve it . The sud at are school went crazy at the fact of music in the room.There we were, just mineding are own stuff when I found this site.Oh my gosh you won't beleve it,but I click on the sound speacker phone and soundenly a song pops out of nowere. And as soon as it does the sub says,"what the," then just cracks up!!It sounded like this" Ha ha ha ha ha haaaa.What did you do ?"
Now I'm going to tell of a letter to my buatiful, astonishing, and talented AIG teacher that I wrote to her.

Dear Dear Mrs.Edwards,

I was just thinking.Mabie sometime if there is time you could mabie try to get a link to the power point for the AIGThinking Log so if I went there then I could do some work on it.I was lust thinking.So you dfon't have to do it but it would save time in class and we could keep adding to are power points.Not just me all of us you know the four of us.Or as you call it Lydia , Lauren , Beanca ,and last but not least Lasonya.Like you could make the l;inks on the Thinking Log and then when we get to the Thinking Log then we could click on it and be able to do woek on it. It's only because I love working on it and I want to be able to do it at home to so I can have it done before Chritmas brake and I won't have to do it on Christmas because we are probly going to either go somewhere for Christmas or have cominy for Christmas.So I don't want to worry about it then so it would be a huge great favor if you did.Speaking of Christmas I was wondering if my fgamily was free around Christmas and your family was free then we could get together some time.Just (if it's o.k. with my mother)mabieLauren'sfamily and your family for a tiny little Christmas party with dinner.Well aculy we couldthink about mabie getting together withyou all including Lauren's familyand your family sometimesoe rather then Christmas brake mabie Thanksgiving Brake or so.Onlyif it is o.k. with you and I am shuret that some time this year we have to get together for dinner weather Christmas brake or Thanksgiving brake we have to get together at either your house or my house and oh we could take turns.You know.Geting together at your house then mine then yours all through the whole year and gettingto know each other.I know it sounds strang and Iwas just thinking.My thoughts are wirdand sometimes they get the best of mebut that can't get in the way of me writing things.Well it was niceto send something to you and I hope towrite to you agian but I have to go to the Library and find my books or I can't check any other Magic Tree House books any more.(MagicTree House is my favorate what ever number it is I like it.)

Your student,
Lydia
