Read about experiences with 5th Graders using a Chat Room.
For the month of: January, 2012
Kindies - began looking at how Education City can be used to keep track of your scores.
1st Grade
- Dance Mat Mondays!
- Education City: click here to gain access at home.
- Wixie: Finishing our book project with Tumblebooks ...stay tuned to see where you can view them! (Students looked at the section on Non-Fiction and Videos to investigate something they are curious about. After taking notes, the students followed a template on how to build an online book in Wixie.
- Dance Mat Mondays!
- Began 2 days with Math Lines
- Education City: click here to gain access at home. Goal: self-monitor: Their job was to look at the assessment chart of their Education City activities and find a score they would like to improve. Their work syncs with the scoreboard giving them immediate feedback on their performance. If a parent or teacher ever wants access to the scoreboard, please let Mr. Krulish know and he will give you directions.
- Wixie: This week, most students finished working on their Non-Fiction books from the information they gathered researching a Tumblebooks topic. We will link all "books" to a page where others can see what they have created.
- Spent one day using a new program: Timez Attack by BigBrainz. This is available at home for no cost (regularly $40!). Directions have been added to GoogleDrive via the Learning Links. It is an AMAZING program to increase recall speed with Addition/Subtraction, and Multiplication/Division. Requirement: 3-4, 20min sessions/week.
3rd Grade
- Dance Mat Mondays!
- We finished the book poster's created in ComicLife. We do not have access to a color printer for all so we learned how to "hollow" out the color. We printed our documents and colored them in. Get ComicLife at home for $4.99 on your iPad! Or click here to download it for $30 to your computer (30 day free trial).

4th Grade - Mrs. Yoffe
- Dance Mat Mondays!
- Began a ComicLife project: Researched the history of Valentine's Day and added that information as part of a creation of Valentine's Day cards. Goal: for students to learn how to think of their Google Drive account as a flash-drive so as to store non-web based projects. This allows for greater mobility and security. Get ComicLife at home for $4.99 on your iPad! Or click here to download it for $30 to your computer (30 day free trial).

5th Grade - Mrs. Chavez - A GREAT WEEK...
- Dance Mat Mondays!
