April 2: No School - Spring Holiday
April 15: Community Seminar - Story Frames for Teaching Literacy Book Discussion
KAHOOT!
Kahoot! is a website that allows individuals to create their own quiz game. It has quickly become a May School favorite for students and teachers alike, whether being played during an assembly or amongst friends in class. Ms. Mich’s students are finishing their Ancient Greek unit. Students studied a topic of their choice and created their own questions for a Kahoot! challenge.
PRESENTATION SKILLS
Ever wonder how many skills are involved in creating and presenting a research project? At least 50 that Ms. Corrie has identified as her students are presenting a topic of ancient history from their Story of the World text. These skills come from broader topics such as reading and marking text, use of MLA format, use of Google Slides, and oral presentation skills. What a great experience for these students to have!
SPRING POEMS
Ms. Jamie’s elementary students continue to share their excitement with all things Spring. This week they have egg hunts and candy on their minds. Check out what they have learned to do with technology and writing this year!
THE HOOT RETURNS
Student A: [sneezes] My nose hates me!
Student B: No it doesn’t. It’s protecting you. It thinks pollen is a virus.
