Third Grade Website Designers!
The third graders worked very hard to create these amazing websites! First, they learned the skill of taking notes. Next, they learned how to set up a website, include their notes as the main information of their site, and collaborate with a partner. Lastly, they added images, videos and games on the subject of nouns! If anyone needs a website made, just ask a third grader!
Click on the names of websites to be transported to the exciting world of nouns!

Fifth Grade Academy Awards!
The assignment for the fifth graders was to develop a presentation for science class on an animal of their choice. They were to include the animal’s habitat, diet, structural adaptations and behavioral adaptations.
Behind the Scenes...
These fifth graders took to the task like true professionals! They worked collaboratively in their groups and they wrote original screenplays. They made cue cards and practiced their parts, adding creativity along the way. They transformed into actors and actresses.
Then after being taught the program iMovie, they became producers, editors, visual effects artists, creative directors, sound designers, and masters of green screen technology! Look out HOLLYWOOD!
Special thank you to the fifth grade teachers who collaborated with us on this project:
Mrs. Quinn, Mrs. Hanson, Mrs. Derosier, and Mrs. Roberts.
