Playing with Blockly

I like learning and being creative. When school is out, I get to learn and do lots of new things. I played with Blockly the other night. Have you ever played with Blockly?

Blockly is a game that lets you make shapes in different colors and there's lots of learning. I learned how to do multiplication and addition to make it draw.

Here's what I made:

I'll tell you how to do it in my AudioBoo. Click on play to listen to my AudioBoo to learn how to do it.  listen to ‘Blockly’ on Audioboo

Do you want to try it yourself? Click here to go to the link and press the red "Run Program" to watch it draw what I programmed it to draw.

I learned about Blockly because my mom was listening to David Wees share about it online, and I wanted to try.

What do you like about Blockly?

Have you created something on Blockly before? If so, can you share it with me?

Tens Frame

I like the tens frame because it helps me make a ten and then plus the other number. It makes it easy for me. Watch my video:

Have you ever tried a tens frame?

Does it make it easy for you?

Scoop Dig Scoop Dig -- Fun at the Beach

Scoop scoop. Dig dig. That's what I do with the sand when I go to the beach to look for sand crabs. I go to where the waves crash into the sand then I scoop up wet sand into my hand and wait to see if it tickles. If it does, there's probably sand crabs.



I was at the beach again today with my friends and tried something different. I went closer to the ocean and dug a hole in the sand, then when the ocean waves moved in, I'd dig my hands under the sand and pulled out the sand. I'd slowly move the sand away to see if there's any sand crabs -- and there were lots!

Scoop, dig, scoop, dig -- that's the fun I had today at the beach looking for sand crabs with my friends.

Have you ever caught or seen sand crabs before?

Did they scare you or tickle you?

Tide Pools

I love going to the beach. I love the tide pools because you can find sand dollars in there. I found two whole sand dollars and pieces of others. The ones I kept were already dead, and found an alive one. The alive one is green. When they are dead, they are white or grey. Star fish and snails eat the sand dollars.

Have you ever found sand dollars at the beach?

What do you like to do at the beach?

Cyber Bullying

People should not cyber bully other people. A cyber bully is when someone is mean to someone else on the Internet like on a blog, or anywhere digital. It can even happen on a cell phone because it can send typed messages.

I watched this Online Safety video on BrainPop and learned that if you tell the Internet Service about being cyber bullied they can get kicked off the Internet.

If I get cyber bullied I would tell my teacher, or my mom, or dad, or a trusted grown up so they can stop them and get them in trouble. I would not be mean back to them.

If I see a friend bullied I would tell their mom or dad, or the teacher. I could also tell a police officer if I needed to, and could show the mean message.

I made this Puppet Pals 2 show about bullying:

What would you do if  you or a friend were bullied?
