Media Literacy

We'll be continuing our work on internet research this week. Third grade students will be learning how to use different types of search engines, writing down information they find and how they found it. Fourth and fifth grades will be adding the skill of evaluating the accuracy and credibility of a web site. For example, The History Channel is generally an accurate source on history, someone's blog site may not be. Classes that complete their internet research introduction will be reviewing call numbers in the library, so students can become faster and more accurate at finding books they're looking for.

P.E.

Volleyball skills continue throughout this week. Individual and small-group practice is followed by simplified volleyball games that work on specific skills. Circle volleyball works on setting, Volley Bombers works on accurate serving, and 4-square volleyball combines all the skills we've learned into a fun game.
