Whyville meeting Friday

Merry Christmas to everyone.

Let's Meet in the Cafeteria

I would love to meet in the cafeteria this afternoon and sort the food. I've been playing by myself and It is hard to win, but if we play together we will beat the game.

See ya'll Friday

I'm excited about the training on Friday. I have bought a new hat just for the occasion. I have also purchased earrings. I am scared to start the food challenge because I don't want to get sick. I have gotten my flu shot and I wear my badge proudly. I'll see you guys on Friday Virtually and in person. It will be fun to work together.

I am up to 13 clams a day salary. But, as in the real world I am a shopper and I am spending too much time looking at clothes and accessories.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

Yes, I am still struggling with getting enough Vitamin D. Thus the ill looking avatar. I am looking forward to seeing you all at staff development on December 21st. We will start on time at 1:15. We are required 2 hours of staff development before we can begin our Christmas break. Please be on time, your 2 hours will start when you arrive.. so if you are late.. you will be released late. This Santa has barely started her shopping, so if you are late - it will put this Santa out late. That will probably mean coal in your stocking - so be on time.

PlaneWorks upgrade!

PlaneWorks, one of the TWC-funded activities, had a major upgrade last week.  From the pull-down (Bus) menu, select PlaneWorks and select “CAD” and make your plane, and then select “Olympics” and compete in races with your plane.

 

In the next major release, the supply chain features that allow Whyvillians to make plane parts, users to select those parts, and users to sell planes for Whyville City Hall contracts will be implemented!

Whyville Fieldtrip

I am going to introduce my students to the nutrition eating challenge first. I have tried it and I am definitely hooked. I am still a novice...so..my students and I will travel together. I am going to make Whyville available during my daily warm-up exercises....thinking about a scavenger hunt of some kind.

Ready to Go

hi everyone from Superid :-)

HI everyone

great to meet you last weekend -- looking forward to hearing your comments on this blog  - and also hearing about your efforts to use whyville in your program.

As I mentioned, this is a great adventure -- but much much to do.

best

Superid  (Jim Bower

Question?

Where have you visited so far? What have you enjoyed the most? What d you think your students will like best?

Welcome

this blog has been established to record thoughts and ideas of Waco ISD teachers and Whyville creators as we develop ideas for the use of Whyville in the classroom.

Today you should have noticed a Whyville Folder on your First Classdesk top. Inside I sent you an electronic copy of the lesson plan you were given on Saturday as well as the crosswalk between Career Connections and Career Investigations.

I made contact with our Technology Department and Cliff and the port should be open soon so that your students can begin to interact on the site.

Please check your whymail, I sent each of you a greeting.

I have signed up to do the "Why Eat Challenge" ... so far so good..

have a wonderful Thanksgiving

Great Opportunity

I'm looking forward to the opportunity to create lesson plans for Whyville. This is a great place for our kids to meet in a virtual world.
