Technology with Ecosystems

Submitted by alyssa.mathis on Thu, 03/29/2018 - 08:11

Mrs. Ferrin's class used technology to learn about the different ecosystems of the world. The students each mastered their given ecosystem and then taught each other about them. They loved using the chrome books to watch videos, look at pictures, and read about the ecosystems. They also loved sharing what they learned with their peers!

Principal Moment

So much has changed since I was a kid.  When I was the students’ age, we turned the dial on phones, found books in the card catalog, waited a whole year to see The Sound of Music on TV, unfolded car maps to find directions, and painted typing mistakes with Liquid Paper.

We dropped the needle on the spinning record and hoped we’d hit the beginning of the song on the very first try, waited for the cassette to beep before turning the knob on the filmstrip projector, and changed the due date in the librarian’s stamp when she wasn’t looking.

Mrs. Albertson's 5th Grade Class

These pictures show one of my favorite things to do with the students. They each have a chance to read some of their writing in front of the class if they choose to do so. They are able to choose a free write, quick write, or other writing assignment they have worked on! They love to share with their peers and it is a good way to see where they are at in their writing without having to read every single paper! :)

We Love to Read

Several of Mrs. Moody's students have enjoyed being able to share their favorite books with Kindergarten and First Grade classes.  We love reading and being able to share our talents with the other students.  Thank you to the teachers who are making us feel so accomplished!

Mrs. Moody is so proud of her class for being able to come in each afternoon and do calendar on their own.  They are so kind and helpful with one another and our Calendar Bear is so great to keep the class engaged.  Yay that they are teaching each other!

Principal Moment

There are certain things that a teacher must never do:  Never pour Plaster of Paris down the sink.  Never stand on a bathroom scale when teaching your students about pounds and ounces.  Never throw a wilted flower away in front of the child who gave it to you no matter how droopy it is.  And never forget to wear green on St. Patrick’s Day.
