Second Graders: Inventors, Script Writers, Persuasive Sales People!

Mrs. Serafino, Mrs. Gildersleeve, Mrs. Whitman, and Mrs. Erricolo are rock star educators!  Not only did they create a market place for their second graders, they let innovation and creativity rule as students designed their own markets!! And if that wasn't enough, they helped their second graders write and produce commercials selling these amazing products! We are SO fortunate to have these wonderful teachers at Center!  Wait until you see these commercials - WOW!

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 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!

Name that State Gameshow! Your Hosts: The Fourth Graders!

 The fourth graders produced their own movies to see how well YOU know your New England states!

First, they collaboratively researched their states.  Secondly, each group of students wrote their scripts together. Thirdly, they decided on a green screen background, and lastly, they used the DoInk app to film one another, encouraging expression in their voices.

From beginning to end, so proud of their efforts!  Fourth graders can do it all!!

Now let's see how YOU do in their gameshow!

School Memes!

 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.  

Enjoy these awesome Memes! Click to enlarge.
