Wow! What a great few weeks we have had. The students in our room have been so busy. We finished our science study for the year by making iMovie review presentations. Each group created a short movie with pictures, sound effects and text. They are awesome. Of course the experience would not have been complete without technological issues but we did our best. Four of the five groups were able to present a finished film. One group is still working on theirs after their laptop completely crashed during production. We had a back up copy saved but unfortunately haven't been able to figure out how to reload it to iMovie. If anyone knows how, please share! Links to our awesome movies are to the right- ENJOY!
We are busy writing the lyrics for songs we will be composing over the next few weeks. These songs are the culminating comprehension activities that go with our fantasy books. After the songs have been created in Garage Band we will be filming music videos and adding titles and credits to our creations. We can't wait to see the finished products!
Please remember CRT testing is May 11-14th. Students should have brought home an "obnoxious green" testing note this week. Please check backbacks and under beds for the testing protocal.
Also please note our field day and fitness testing will be Friday, May 15th. We will be heading to CHHS to run the track and have a lot of fun. Watch for more information to come home soon. Please encourage your student to practice their fitness skills over the next few weeks. The standards are listed in their planner on the final page of the student handbook section.
Thank you for all of the very nice flowers, supplies and treats sent in for Teacher Appreciation Week. I have enough Diet Coke for at least a week and our classroom has never smelled so nice!
