September 24-28

Kindergarten: We looked at books about apple trees. Mrs. Baumert read out loud The Apple Pie Tree, by Zoe Hall. Then, we drew apple orchards using our oval, rectangle solid and outline tools in KIDPIX.




1st Grade: Mrs. Baumert introduced the author Norman Bridwell. His last name begins with B and that is important if I want to find his books in the "Everybody" section. We learned that Mr. Bridwell writes the Clifford books. Clifford was going to be called "Tiny" but Norman's wife encouraged him to change the name to Norman's imaginary friend. That is how the big red dog got his name! Checkout Clifford's online books!

2nd Grade: We discussed the parts of a tree using the Trees are Terrific website. http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/trees1/
Then, we diagrammed parts of a tree using MS Word and the callout tool.




3rd Grade: We took a walk in the woods virtual trip. The children were encouraged to explore Nature Notes to learn more. After the field trip, the students discussed a MAIN IDEA and some DETAILS for the topic woods. Some main ideas were plants in the woods and animals in the woods. Checkout the website for details. http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/woods/

4th Grade: Mrs. Baumert read outloud Polar the Titanic Bear, by Spedden. The book included actual photographs of the Titanic. We learned that these photographs are also called PRIMARY SOURCES. The students visualized one part of the story and drew a picture using KIDPIX.




5th Grade: We discovered the National Manipulatives Math website. Everyone learned how to find activities for their personal math practice.
