Happy Valentine's Day! A reminder that Mid-Winter break and President's day are coming up, so there's no school on Friday the 18th or Monday the 21st. Have a great 4-day weekend!
Media Literacy
Third grade will be putting the final finishing touches on their All About Me PowerPoints this week. After that, they will be doing a review of some important computer skills such as managing multiple open programs and manipulating files (moving, renaming, saving, copying).
Fourth grade is beginning a library unit on using Non-Fiction books. This week, they're learning more about "text features" found in these books and how to use them. For example, they will learn how to pinpoint the exact information they need in a reference book using the index, how to find unknown words in a glossary, and how to use headings to find specific information on a page.
Fifth grade is collecting pictures to use in their upcoming iMovie projects. The iMovie program (similar to Movie Maker on a PC) allows them to create multimedia slide shows with pictures, sounds, and video clips. For this introductory project, they will collect photos of a favorite animal, and arrange them with sounds and captions to create a short slide show.
P.E.
Third and fourth grades will be moving on to hockey games this week, using the shooting, passing, and other skills they practiced last week. Fifth grade is joining in this week as well, beginning with the same skills that the lower grades practiced last week.
