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 this project: 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.
Live from the Reading Center! Don't Stop Reading/Believing! Thank you to Val Brown, Julia Longo, and Carolyn Bliss for all of their terrific work with the kids! Enjoy!
Using UDL (Universal Design Learning) guidelines, third graders have been introduced to idioms through discussion, slide decks, musical idiom songs, and a collaborative hold the phone idiom game.
To demonstrate their knowledge, the students chose from the following options and worked with each other to bring out their best:
Photograph two idioms and write a few sentences about the idiom's meaning.
Draw three idioms and explain what they mean.
Make a video acting out an idiom and explain the meaning.
Create a Google slideshow of at least five idioms and their meaning with pictures.
Think outside the box and create your own idea!
The students hit it out of the park!! It was fascinating to see what they chose, and a few students took it a step farther, by creating a stop motion and a virtual reality of their chosen idioms!!
Thank you PTO for these wonderful Dash Robots! The kindergarteners loved them! Love to see this age beginning to code!! So impressive how well they did!(click to enlarge)
For the first time, first graders are performing on the green screen! 🥳 The theme is special people, and first graders chose a person in their lives who is special and told us why. Way to go first graders! You did an exceptional job!!!
