Kindergarten: We moved up to checking out from the shelves! We are trying to earn The Shelf Elf Award by using quiet feet, quiet voices, a shelf marker, and putting books back the right way. Each student brought home a sheet where we colored the books that were the correct way. We're also reminding students that they can choose books to read the words, read the pictures, or retell a story. At the start of each class time, we share the book we recently returned to show we're reading at home!
First Grade: As we continue with our fractured fairy tales unit we read Jack and the Beanstalk and Kate and the Beanstalk. We compared and contrasted the two. This correlates with text-to-text connections which are being taught in the classroom..
Second Grade: Text features are still our focus. We're looking at which features are seen most often and what they do to help us in reading.
Third Grade: We are continuing with Gmail this week. Our focus is on sending nice emails, email etiquette and just practicing accessing our account.
Fourth Grade: This week we are continuing to work with technology and our biography reports. We worked with Google Drive (the new GoogleDocs) and created folders for our Wax Museum project.
Fifth & Sixth Grade: As we continue to work on Digital Citizenship we continued working with an online program through CommonSense Media. This week our focus was cyberbulling. If you have a 5th or 6th grade student, ask him or her about an upstander, and what that person does in a bullying situation.
