Today the members of Edinger House, relatively new Big Dalton citizens, were interviewed by their third grade buddies about their experiences immigrating to the Middle School. It was challenging to do because of space constraints and technology issues. Thanks so much to Craig, Ms. Nickles, Tracy and Julia, Ms. Levinthan, Ms. Kirsch and all those who helped with this.
The interviews are wonderful! Because they were done in crowded conditions, some may be a bit soft and/or otherwise difficult to hear. If they are hard to hear, I recommend using headphones — you can hear them all beautifully that way. And they are very worth hearing, I assure you. Congratulations to all!

The annual Edinger House Alice Tea Party took place on Friday, May 9th. It was wonderful, as always. Some of the many tasty treats included scones, finger sandwiches, two remarkable cakes, cookies, homemade jam, bread and butter, tarts, and muffins.
The Edinger House Alice in Wonderland Comic was premiered, several students presented poems, and there was even time for a few rounds of “Stick the Smile on the Cheshire Cat.”
Today, you are going to write your final Alice post, but first, and if necessary, please unpublish and edit your Buddy post.
Then, you are going to do your final Alice post. Begin by writing a brief summary of what you did (read book, plan comic, etc). Then write something with a link to your comic page. You may also want to link to the Project page with links to all of the other comics. You may want to include links to previous posts about Alice, too. Lastly, write a few sentences giving a sense of what you got out of the project. You might want to mention the Tea Party in your final sentences.

Tomorrow morning your buddies from House 43 at The First Program are visiting! Each of your 3rd grade buddies has prepared a set of questions to ask you about 4th Grade. You are going to record the interview in your First Class email account and then post it on your blog.
First, let’s review how to record an audio file in FirstClass. (Click this link to go to the Email FAQ.)
Second, let’s review how to upload an audio file (podcast) to your blog.
Now that we’ve reviewed, you are going to prepare your blog posts for tomorrow. Let’s brainstorm some ideas to include in your blog post introduction:
- Explain how the questions from the 3rd graders are different from your oral history book questions
- Explain your transition from 3rd grade to 4th grade
- Explain some of the differences between 3rd and 4th grade
