MATHLETICS!

Hey there!

Our class has our new virtual book. It's mathletics! Yes, it is an interactive online maths website. To go to this website, we must be a member. Our class is quite lucky. We are the first Indonesian School subscribing the program.

Another thing to be proud of is this one; just in two days, our class has reached number 21 out of more than  3000 schools all over the world using the web. It's not that easy.

Mathletics really gives the students power to love maths. It does not offer maths games but also offers the support. The students can go to the support page before doing the tasks. Wow, I cannot tell you more, just see and try!

MRS. ELIZABETH VAN KAMPEN

Dear all, Time flies. We are now walking the second unit of our inquiries. As we are learning about colonialism and imperialism, we are looking for their meaning. More than just a meaning, we make our research on people who had the experience during Dutch colonialism or the Japan imperialism of Indonesia. Mrs. T and I were preparing the unit when accidentally she had this very interesting website. The website was like our virtual book just when we needed one. www.dutch-east-indies.com. As we were born as inquirer, I tried to fulfill the guest book. To my surprise, Mrs. Van Kampen replied! I was excited. When my class was doing their reading on her websites, I told them that she replied my comment in her website guestbook by e-mail. The whole class was surprised. They wanted to send her email by their own email account. Wow, hold on! Let's have all questions together to make everything smoother.

We had made the students to ask 5 questions per group. Basically, we corresponded using 21st century tools ; e-mail. It was unbelievable when she replied the students email. We were more than excited! We wanted to talk to her live!

Well, let's wait and see!
