Miss Gorton's 4th Grade!
This is the inaugural year of Room 12's own classroom website, and we're very excited about both the content it holds and the interactive capabilities of it. Not only is there information for parents and means of direct communication with them, but there are opportunities for students to have authentic writing experiences with our classroom blog (where the Daily Blogger will scribe Room 12's daily goings-on) and our online Book Reviews that we will write and have subjected to comments from students around the world! We also have spaces for classroom movies, our class pets, podcasts, and more! We appreciate you considering our page and would love to have your award because we know the level of creativity it honors, as sites from the past have inspired ours today.
