Gr. 7 and 8
I used ‘give them what they want’ as a guiding principal when I was trying to think of a Media Lab Project that the 7th and 8th grade would like to do. So, we will be doing claymation so the projects can be posted on Youtube. The 7th and 8th grades will work seperately on the same project and there will be some competition between the two grades. There will be two seperate cameras rigged up at the same time. Each class will be given a pack of playdough. They have to film it all in one class period. Each class picks the music for their project. My only requirement is that it has to be based on, or inspired by, the book Oh, the Places You’ll Go! by Dr. Suess which I read to them today. We will shoot in two weeks -- we have next week off.
Gr. 6:
We watched the newest video in our Cultural Connections News Series -- The Vikings. Fantastic job!

Gr. 5
We shot the 1st segment for the Bremin Town Musicians. Everyone worked together and we shot everything we need for the 1st segment. It will be ready for class and posted on YouTube in two weeks.
Gr. 4:
This week a boy chose So You Want to Be President? by Judith St. George. They loved it.
Gr. 3:
This week a boy chose to read the 1st chapter of Dirt Bike Runaway by Matt Christopher. I had never read one of Matt Christopher’s (very boy and always about sports) books -- I have bought many for our library -- and I was surprised how fast moving and how many plot twists their were . . . and that was only in the 1st chapter!
Gr. 2:
We read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Another fantastic chapter. Two more to go!
Gr. 1:
We read The Amazing Bone by William Steig. They loved it and it was checked out.
Gr. K:
We read Jumanji by Chris Van Allsburg. When I read this book I am always amazed that the pictures don’t give away the excitement of the story. For example you can see the monkeys are in the kitchen before you read about them -- but the kids don't react to the pictures until after have I read that peice of the story. This is a wonderful read aloud.
