I will not respond to any messages that are mean or in any way make me feel uncomfortable. I will talk with my parents so that we can set up rules for going online. Internet safety is a big issue in our community. Noting the need, Payton has created another wonderful Internet project and written an article that emphasizes the safety aspects of Internet surfing. On the project's second day, the kids build their surfing set.
Good organization is key to the success of any Internet project.
Payton chose to organize this project so that each day would focus on three letters of the alphabet. Each day, students bring in from home objects that begin with any of the day's three letters. Payton divides the kids into three groups, generally based on who brings in the most objects for each of the assigned letters. They use inventive spelling to label each picture. And one-third of the students are surfing the Web in search of sites related to the days' letters.
