A small group from Ms. Taylor’s class typed stories about winter.  Some typed about the snow days we had and building snowmen.  One student typed about his first time sledding.  Students learned how to use Pages.  They also inserted pictures that went with their stories.

Ms. Hanks’ class had an enrichment lesson today on force and motion.  First, the students watched a short video showing different types of motion.  Next, they worked on a Database to answer questions about motion.  They loved doing this activity that was created by ITRT David Clough.  If you would like to do this activity in your classroom, click on the link below to download.

Ms. Hanks’ students also worked on a Sun and Earth Keynote.  They had to match words and move pictures around in the Keynote.   If you’d like to use this Keynote in your classroom, click on the link below.

Mrs. Brady’s third graders worked on Pixie animation today.  They beagan animating the food chains in Pixie today.  The students did a great job!  This is not an easy process.  It takes many slides to make a movie and many of them almost finished in our short amount of time.   I can’t wait to see their finished movies.  Click below to see one of the movies that a student finished.
