Habitats with Mrs. Brannan's Class

Mrs. Brannan's 4th grade students are learning about different habitats. The students are using print and electronic resources to find information. After taking notes on their topics, the students - working independently or with a partner - are creating presentations to demonstrate their learning.

Fourth Grade Common Core Writing Standard: With some guidance and support from adults, use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing as well as to interact and collaborate with others; demonstrate sufficient command of keyboarding skills to type a minimum of one page in a single sitting.

Becoming Authors and Illustrators

 The students pictured are in Ms. Collins' first grade class. They are becoming authors and illustrators! Students in grades K - 5 are creating hard covered books filled with their work. Students in grades K - 3 will write one page and make one drawing to go in their class book. Students in grades 4 and 5 will write their own book and receive a free copy if the project is completed on time.

Ms. Hunt's Class and ITBS

During ITBS, I worked with Ms. Hunt's fifth grade class. They were respectful and cooperative. Ms. Hunt has established clear procedures and set high standards for her students. AND a lot of them are readers - which, of course, makes me very happy!

September 2012 - Statistics

New art work was added to the media center in September and it looks wonderful! During the month, 4,073 items were checked out from the media center; 4th grade social studies classes worked on Native American powerpoints; and the all kindergarten and first grade classes completed their orientations! In addition, over 1,350 students visited with their media passes to check out books, complete an assignment, or work independently on an activity. September was a busy month!
