Episode 71: The Cloud, Chapter 10

Hi All, 

Just a reminder that we are recording a novella that Mr. Chris and I wrote. The story, about kids solving a mystery using their technology skills,  has twenty-five chapters.  

Two weeks ago we brought you Chapter 9, where The Cloud decided their nicknames and learned about the school's upcoming science fair. Mr. Brisbane incentivized entering the science fair by giving no homework while the students prepared their projects! The class clusters were all abuzz about options for the projects they could do.

What type of project have you done or would you be interested in doing for the science fair?  Check out the class website at bit.ly/brisbanegrade4 and  http://www.nightlightstories.net for a link to be part of the class! 

This week, we bring you Chapter 10. Our sponsor, Texthelp, will be featured before and after this week's episode. Texthelp, the makers of Fluency Tutor are offering it for free through the end of the 2019-2020 school year. Try it today, by visiting: text.help/nightlightstories
