D5 resources, in case you are looking for more information.
The authors' website, constantly updated

These resources have been developed by the Centre of Excellence for Literacy (a provincial initiative for the Anglo sector, by Lynn Senecal) and might give you an idea of how literacy can be supported.
that would be like crashing waves pounding the coastline.

The state I am from is Connecticut. I am excited to know this is global. My address is a blog. I use it mainly to communicate with fellow bibliophiles. Many of us share in what we call Sunday Salon. The image on my page links back to the Sunday Salon main site. Leigh, I will be signing up for a Twitter Account, but I've been swamped with work. I am very excited about this site. I also have a blog that I was using for technology and Web 2.0 in the classroom. I guess it is time to rework it. Your country looks beautiful. How nice to live right on the Caspian Sea.
I am also going to apply for an ebeam. They are only going to place 2 in the Elem classrooms now. Most highschool and MS classes already have MM projectors. I was not sure if I really wanted the ebeam or just the projector... Does it really make a difference?

My web page follows this path: Elementary-Spanish-Ms. Ginny Tori.
When you get to my web page, click on the button that says TTT and you will find a bunch of cool websites for the young learners you might want to pass on.
Get back to me when you´ve explored it.
Any other PYP teachers/schools on this web 2.0 site? How can I find them?
Chau!
