Students will continue working to personalize their portfolio.  They will also continue working on their recorded reading file (each student will read a 60-90 second passage from a book of their choice to showcase their reading ability).  They will also add the section for “What they look forward to next year… or what it will be like for them next year as a ___ grader”.  Once they have completed the editing for the session, they will need to save their work:

We will exit out of the program by clicking on the “red X” in the top right corner of the screen.
If it ask ~ Click “Yes” to save the changes.
Click on the “red X” to exit out of the network folder window to return to the original screen.

If time allows, students will work on creating a short PhotoStory 3 presentation of themselves and their friends!  This will be linked to their Electronic Portfolio.
