February 2011 Monthly Report
Program Highlights
Author Laurel Snyder spoke to students in all grade levels in 3 sessions: Prek-1st,
2nd
-3rd
, and 4th
-5th
. She highlighted the many revisions that text goes through
before being published and had interactive writing sessions with students.
Multiple digital projects were created this month. 5th
grade completed a unit called
Bigger, Better, Faster: Our Changing Nation. Students created glogsters, animotos,
photo stories, and power points. Many of these products included multiple
products integrated within one another. One 4th
grade class completed persuasive
photo stories using images from creative commons and text written writer’s
workshop. Another 4th
grade class created Animoto book trailers for authors that
they had been studying for several weeks. These students also used creative
commons images in their products.
Preparations were made for the upcoming Exemplary Media Center Open House
being held on March 3.
A major weeding project was completed which has updated our collection to an
average age of 1999.
A professional learning session was held for all teachers on using Literacyhead.
Our school is now a lab school for this online resource.
