Congratulations and keep up the good work!

Sincerely, The School Page Award Team

WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. Senator Chuck Robb (D-Va) announced today that a Web site created by Mrs. Bogucki's third grade class at Anne E. Moncure Elementary School in Stafford has been named the August "Site of the Month." Each month, Sen. Robb highlights new and innovative Virginia Web sites by linking these sites to his own Web page (www.robb.senate.gov). The sites of the month focus on educational, governmental and other nonprofit organizations with a presence on the Web.

"The Internet has transformed the way people communicate and has expanded access to information worldwide," Sen. Robb said. "I commend Mrs. Bogucki and her third grade class for bringing the Internet into their classroom and making technology part of their daily routine."

Mrs. Bogucki's class Web site features everything that both her students and their parents need to know about what is going on at the school and in the classroom. The site includes links to such pages as: homework, calendar of events, student of the week, as well as teacher resources. The site has won various awards including twice being named the Best Teachers Resource Web Site from the Virginia Society for Technology in Education.

Again congratulations on both being selected as my Site of the Month and on your outstanding use of the Internet as demonstrated at your web site.

Every month we feature a link that has been given the Planetpals Safe or Clean Planet Award. This Month's winner is:

A third grade class whose site is oriented for the parents and their children and offer many home grown activities in support of their curriculum. Many of these activities are good for you, too!

Planetpals chose this site-because It's colorful, interesting, informative and inviting! We would like to show classrooms everywhere, ways they can use technology for their own benefit and simultaneously reach out to the world beyond!

My name is Melissa Burgos and I am the editor of http://www.4teachers.org/ which is a Web magazine for teachers striving to integrate technology into education. Web for teachers is a project that is part of SCR*TEC, a federally funded grant to integrate technology and education in the south central region including; Texas, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma.

One of the features in www4teachers is called Class Collections. In this section, we feature outstanding teacher-created sites that serve as useful resources to other educators.

We recently reviewed your Room 35 third grade class homepage and are extremely impressed! It is an excellent resource. I was wondering if we could feature your classroom site in our next issue for Class Collections.
