Mrs. Erricolo's Readers Theater with 2nd and 3rd graders!

What a treat! You won't want to miss these amazing students!  Special thank you to Mrs. Erricolo for constantly finding creative ways to bring out the best in her students. Look for a guest appearance from Mr. Dutko!

Second Grade Landmark Movies!

Second grade has been busy traveling the country through our LEEF Virtual Reality goggles to learn about the U.S. landmarks!  Then they researched each landmark, made creative and clever Google slideshows (see next post) and from that created a script!  

Today they take YOU with them on a tour of each one.  They worked hard on speaking clearly and using expression.  The second graders did such a great job, you just may see them on the next travel show!  Enjoy!

Second Graders and Google Slideshows- Prepare to be Amazed!

Second graders created the most phenomenal Google slideshows in their study of United States Landmarks.  After learning about each landmark, they chose a fact to share and an image, then really made their slides snazzy!  Here are a few examples, enjoy! Some students were so excited, they created their own slideshows on a topic of their choice! 

 

Coding and Robotics Time!

Coding teaches students how things work, how to problem solve, demonstrate creativity, as well as encourages persistence, improves confidence and communication skills; plus it's a really fun way to learn! These fifth graders exceeded expectations on what they were able to do!

 

Moving to the Colonies!

 Fifth graders are persuading you to move to their colony!  Which colony will you choose after hearing them? Students researched, wrote scripts and used green screen technology to film each other.  Excellent work - so creative and expressive! Wow!

Colonial Tweets!

Learning about what life would be like as a child in colonial times made the fifth graders very thankful for life in 2021! They expressed their thoughts in the following tweets.  Enjoy their creativity!

MEME time!

 We had so much fun with this project - the fifth graders brought their "A" game for sure!  The students are learning a lot of valuable tools on their Chromebooks with these projects as well:  how to download and upload images, take screenshots, take photos, use split screen, bookmarks, and bookmark folders plus how to mark assignments as done and turn in assignments in Google Classroom.  

Enjoy these awesome Memes! ~Click to enlarge~

Graphic Design Time!

 Fifth graders dabbled in some graphic design by decorating their lockers.  The amount of inspiration and creativity was amazing!

3rd Grade Continent Movies!

 Third graders took a deep dive into social studies research, learning interesting facts about the seven continents.  Then they created a script, practiced their lines and filmed a movie using green screen technology!  Impressive!

3rd Grade Crazy Captions!

Putting their creative writing skills to good use, these students wrote crazy captions to go with each animal.  Learning more skills in Google slides was a plus - what creative and smart children!  Be sure to check the hallway near the technology room (C-107) for ALL of the students' work.

3rd Grade All about Me!

Third graders completed an All about Me slideshow, learning several new skills in Google slides.  This will prepare them for their biography project later in the year.  The teachers and I learned a lot of great new things about our students!

Center Olympics!

Thank you Mrs. Gauthier and Mrs. Capotosto for an amazing day!
