Thank you to Ms. Williams for the beautiful pictures!

There are things . . .

There are things in this world that are unique . . . and perhaps you have never seen, nor heard of these marvels . . .





*********************************** 
 You can create your own marvels with simple pencil, paper and pen. I love tangle patterns . . . relaxing and fun and beautiful!




To make a paper stump:  Tear off a small corner of a piece of scratch paper (about as long as your finger).  Roll it up as tightly as possible and use the rough edge to rub on the pencil shading to blend it. Blend carefully in the direction you want the shading to go.

New Additions to the PortaPortal

Dear Students and Families,

Look for new additions and the return of old favorites.

BrainPop links are available with a username as a temporary addition to Portland Public School's Internet subscriptions. Be sure to use the username and password provided.

I put "Grizzly Adventure" back as a Summer treat. A little celebration for the end of testing.

I have also re-added "Useful and Fun for the Whole Family" near the bottom of the PortaPortal. There is also a new page of super fun puzzles and strategy games.

I am always looking for new, fun, educational or brain-working websites. If you know of any, feel free to add a comment here or email me during the summer.

No matter where you go, if there is Internet . .  you can find me. 

Love and hugs,

Ms. Wolfsong
