Grade Level Highlights

Looking at the Continents
Mrs. Jane's 3rd Grade Social Studies class worked in collaborative groups of three to create PowerPoint presentations on a specific continent.  What a great way to share information and learn from one another!

   

Santa Online Letters
Mrs. Darnell's 1st Grade students created Santa letters online that were sent directly to the North Pole.  In a matter of seconds, students received an email response from Santa himself!  Is this technology power or what?!

 

   

 

Santa Letters
Mrs. Blank's Kindergarten class created Santa Letters in Microsoft Word with the help of Mrs. Klappauf's 5th Grade class elves!


A Recap of Accomplishments
Mrs. Grady and Mrs. Farrell created a PowerPoint presentation to recap all that's been done this year in class!  What a great way to recapture the 1st semester!

   

Here Come the Turkeys!
Mrs. Paez's 1st Grade class used the drawing tools in Kid Pix to create Thanksgiving Turkeys.  What a great way to learn Kid Pix control and demonstrate creativity at the same time!

   

Using MindPoint Quiz Show
Mrs. Menozzi's 2nd Grade students are learning how to use the MindPoint Quiz Show to review their math skills.  What a great use of the new technology that is part of the District's new Math resource adoption!

ELMO Comes to Math Class
Mrs. DeSalvo cleverly uses the ELMO camera to actively engage her 2nd Grade students in Math class.  Now everyone can see 'realtime objects' such as money or work together on the same worksheet or workbook page.  How exciting!


Wild Animal PowerPoints
Mrs. Eddy's 2nd Grade students are using Microsoft PowerPoint to create digital presentations about wild animals.  Many students use the Internet to research information and capture real life pictures. 
Let the show begin!
