Kindergarten - Itsy Bitsy Spider song
This week in the media center, Mrs. King read the fiction story of the Itsy Bitsy Spider to the kindergarten students. The students then sang the Itsy Bitsy Spider song for Mrs. King. Finally, Mrs. King shared a nonfiction spider story with the students. The students are excellent listeners!
Mrs. Roy's class is featured in the video. (Thank you, Mrs. Roy, for leading the singers!)

5th grade Civil War activities
Fifth grade students at Woodland Elementary School recently
brought history into the classroom with the help of a “Traveling Trunk”
borrowed from the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. The trunk held
reproductions of soldier uniforms, metal dinnerware, and other daily use items
of the 1860s. Students had the opportunity to try on a uniform, research the
Civil War, and create hardtack – a simple, long lasting hard biscuit made from
flour, salt, and water – as part of their instruction. The students also had
their pictures made in the Civil War uniforms. Mrs. Kamisha Botts, Woodland’s
Technology Specialist, assisted the students in editing their photograph using
the PicCollage application on the iPad. The hands-on activities were fun and
kept the students focused, engaged, and learning.

Summer Reading
Summer is almost
here! We are pleased to announce the Fulton County School’s Summer Reading
Lists. Please find the list at this link http://www.fultonmeti.org/summer-reading-list.html
A PDF is also
available at the link. A committee of media and educational technology
instructors from all levels, elementary, middle and high school worked
to compile the summer reading list. The summer reading committee selected
titles based on their appeal to students. The goal of the summer reading list
is to provide students with a wide variety of books to enjoy during the summer
months. Students may wish to read works from other level lists as appropriate.
It is our hopes that the summer reading list will encourage students to make
reading an essential part of summer vacation.
The Buy One, Get One Free Scholastic Book Fair is Here
Students are preparing for summer reading by getting a supply of books at our spring book fair!
