 * Behavior Expected of Students: **

 * Student comments will be constructive and positive
 * Students will not work on the wiki until all other facets of the winter animal project have been completed and turned in to the classroom teacher

  Students are allowed to comment and edit each others'postings. However, anything students deem inappropriate should first be discussed with either the classroom teacher or the librarian.

 * Librarian will spend one period (30 minutes) with each third grade demonstrating the wiki set up and how it will work to students, classroom teacher, and aide(s)
 * Students will use one period of computer lab time (45 minutes) to create initial posts to the wiki. This will be a whole-group lesson led by the librarian and the computer lab aide
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Students will be allowed to comment and edit as time allows, either in the library, lab or classroom
