During IT we are learning about digital footprints and how to have a good one and I would like to share some tips with you. First I will tell you how to have a good digital footprint. To keep a good digital footprint don't post or say anything inappropriate and don't talk to people you don't know on the Internet even if they say they are the same age as you and never share any personal information. Now about why it is good to keep a good digital footprint because lets say that when you were 12 you posted an inappropriate photo  but then you deleted it but now when you are 25 and you are in a job interview the person who you want to work for they will google you and even though you deleted it they will find that inappropriate photo you poster when you were 12. 

This is my email to David's parents. I tried to make them feel better about David going away with a turtle.

Today during IT the Kestrels class did an a task on email etiquette. WE have a hyper doc that the whole class was on. Our first task was to watch videos and they write one rule that we learned. It was a bit crazy because the whole class was typing at the same time. Our second task was that we had to answer questions about email etiquette. Then we had to email our teacher about what we were exited about camp but using email etiquette. I learned that you must proofread before you send your email and that you must stick to the point. I thought that this was a fun task because we didn't have to work by ourselves through out the task.

                                                            Last week the Grade 6's did a poetry ILT . Poetry is a form of English writing , that sometimes rhymes. There are lots of different styles of poetry, my favourite style is a Haiku. People write poetry to express how people are feeling.  The activities we did over the ILT was we had to do a terminology task were we had to look up words and find out what they mean. Another thing we did  was  a poetry slam  were we had to come up with a poem and preform in front of two classes.We also had to write different styles of poetry  and then put it into a slide show. Another activity we did was a black out poem were we had to make a poem with words we had on a page. We also had to do an imaginary task which Mr Walker gave us a three poems to choose from ...

In class we are reading a book called Wonder and Mr Brown is talking about precepts, let me tell you about my precept that I chose.   I think a  precept is something that is a rule or something to stand by and something you want to keep for a long time. My precept that i found and liked is , ''Shoot for the moon but if you don't make it you'll land among the stars'' which means go for your goals but if you don't make it you will get somewhere else.'' You could use it for a lot of different purposes. Now I am going to tell you about this precept that I made ''They just want to be like you.'' which means if people hurt your feelings , don't care , they are just jealous of what you have and they don't. I hope that you learned something about precepts. Try to make you own precep ts.
