Ms. Redman’s  Fourth Grade Wiki   Dear Parents, Students, Families and Colleagues, Welcome to our Wikispace! We will be using this site to document our learning during the 2010-2011 school year. Our class will have the opportunity to journal thoughts, pose questions, respond to other students and publish work.   I invite you to join our wiki so that you can play an integral part in our learning. We will use the wiki to journal our ideas for math, writing, reading and social studies. As the year progresses, I will publish our final published writing for different workshop units as well as projects for social studies.

The students are given the opportunity to Wiki several times a week and they will be working on their posts independently or as a group. These posts represent students’ thoughts, ideas, and questions about different concepts. The Wiki is aimed at teaching spelling and conventions. The goal of the Wiki is to help students become better writers, critical thinkers and problem-solvers through authentic writing experiences.  While I wish every student had perfect conventions and could type quickly, these are skills that will come with time and practice. As the year progresses, you will see improvement in both of these skills.

I hope you will join our Wiki, respond to student questions, and ask questions to the students. Every child would enjoy getting a response to their Wiki. So, please respond to multiple students if possible. They will really enjoy hearing from you, answering your questions and asking you questions.

Thank You, Christina Redman
