Week 20 — February 4, 2010
One more week until the sixth graders leave for Cost Rica!
I’ve created a wikispaces page for the sixth graders. On this site I’ve asked them to write information about our projects so far this year. I’ve also given them a discussion section where they can login and post discussion topics that relate to the sixth graders. They’ve also been adding to the book review wiki that was started by a teacher at Shipley. It’s great to see that schools from various cities are now adding book reviews.
The fifth graders finished their digital storybooks on Dr. King, and we will watch them all in class on Friday and do a little reflection on what they did well, what they could do better, and what they thought of the project as a whole. All of their videos can be viewed on my youtube page.
The fourth graders continue to work on their animal research, while the third graders, who are deep into their study of fairy tales, will begin this online fairy tale game that I found. I found that website, as well as many others that I use in the lab, from Larry Ferlazzo’s blog.
Finally, the second graders are going to catch up on some First in Math this week, while I promised the first graders that we would play with Photobooth. I’m thinking that I will have them experiment with taking their pictures, and then have them pick their favorite and we will make some kind of slideshow with the pictures–haven’t quite figured that out yet!
