Gr. 7/8:
Media Lab: Students took turns adding information to the Wikipedia entry. We liked a boxed feature on another school page so we looked in the HTML code for that page and copied the section that made up the box and pasted it into the HTML code of our page. We then changed the boxed information to be about our school. Next week we will try to put in a picture and add more information.
We are also looking at one web 2.0 site each week. This week we looked at Babbel. Learn a foreign language online! www.Babbel.com
Gr. 6:
Media Lab: We shot the first news segment the acting was great and we were able to film everything for the segment in 25 minutes -- but there is a big flaw. We could put the movie together and make it look great but we couldn’t post it online and even if we didn’t post it online someone else could post it online and we don’t want that to happen for privacy’s sake. So . . . Next week we will come up with a plan to create movies we can post. Stay tuned.
Gr. 5:
Media Lab: We worked on putting together Rooster Claymation -- part 2 in class. It took awhile to put all of our 187 pictures into iMovie and edit each frame. At one point one of the students said, “I think it’s really interesting watching you put the movie together but couldn’t you just put it together quickly and post it on Youtube by tonight?” So that’s what I did. A student who was absent and missed out on building the flower got to choose the music -- an excellent choice. Here is the video:
Gr. 4:
This week a boy chose Chapter 1 of Charlotte’s Web.
Gr. 3:
This week a girl chose to read Chapter 2 of Frindle.
Gr. 2:
Happily read Chapter 11 of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.
Gr. 1:
Happily read the second book of My Father’s Dragon.
Gr. K:
I read Madeline. There were groans from the boys and I told them it wasn’t just a girls book. They all loved it!
