A Day in the Library -- Grades K28 -- Part 5

Wednesday February 13, 2008
This weeks library day there was a 2 hour delay due to an ice storm. Kindergarten missed library. We combined Grades 1 and 2 and all the classes were shortened to 20 minutes.

Gr. 7/8:
Media Lab: We did it! We created the Wikipedia entry for the school. Students took turns at the Smart Board. We created a user ID and password and then created our entry. We only had time to write one sentence but it was a great start. Next week students will take turns adding something to the entry.

Gr. 6:
Media Lab: We didn’t have much time so students did more research on their topics during library time. Next week will take turns discussing each student’s topics. I will research one student’s topic on the smart board. I will also ask if they want me to find educational movies about their topics. The goal is to get 3 interesting facts about each topic.

Gr. 5:
Media Lab: Rooster Claymation -- part 1 is on Youtube. We watched the clip in class and looked at the steps it took to make it. We watched videos on Youtube and Brainpop about animation to help us all think about how we want our clips to look. Next week we will shoot Rooster Claymation -- part 2. The following week we will assemble the clip in class and hopefully post it on Youtube at the end of the class.

Gr. 4:
I read Ooh-La-La Max in Love. A very wacky book.

Gr. 3:
I read Ooh-La-La Max in Love.

Gr. 2/1:
I read Ira Sleeps Over. They loved it.
