Kindergarten Students Incorporate Technology Into Their Study of Apples

This year, in an attempt to get our youngest students on board with technology in a meaningful way, all Kindergarten classes came to the library and did research using Pebblego.com on a subject they were studying in their classrooms - apples/seeds.

Students were given a demonstration on how to properly use the mouse and navigate the Pebblego.com database as well as given basic technology vocabulary to build on (monitor, keyboard, mouse, tower, click, database, tabs, etc...). A graphic organizer was provided for students to draw a picture of what they learned 
and/or to write down (with assistance) some facts from the text they read and listened to (audio support is available on Pebblego). Back in their classrooms, students used their graphic organizers to create "fact cards" of what they learned for their performance task. For our bilingual class, students listened to the information in English and then brainstormed in Spanish as a whole group as well as using the graphic organizers.

Literacy Coach Lauren Canalori teaches students the basics of writing a blues song.
This year's 4th Grade Blues Musician Inquiry Project kicked off today!!  4th grade classes came to the LMC and rotated through 4 stations gaining background knowledge about Blues music and musicians. The stations included: a video of various Blues musicians, a listening station of Blues music with written lyrics for them to follow, a write your own Blues song station and a computer station where they watched a PowerPoint presentation of commonly used Blues instruments and used and an interactive website to create Blues songs.

After completing their research on a selected musician, students will have the choice of creating a poster of significant life events or of painting a portrait of their musician and audio recording a first person narrative of their musician that will be converted into a QR code
