Stay tuned for the 4th Grade Book talks!

The first day of school begins September 8, 2011. I am looking foward to seeing new students and returning students.

This year, the teachers in the Lower School will have access to iPads in their classrooms. It will be exciting to see how students and teachers use these tools.

The 4th graders used their library research skills to find information on their individually assigned states. Then, they used PowerPoint to synthesize their findings and to create multimedia presentations.

Third Grade students worked in groups to research different countries. Then, they pulled their research together into PowerPoint presentations that they shared with their classmates.

Here are some of the projects they created:

The 4th Grade students surveyed their classmates about a topic of their choice (i.e. What is your favorite song?). Then, they inserted the data into Excel spreadsheets and created graphs. Currently, the students are using voice recordings to describe their results. Check back soon to see their work!

It’s time to get those fingers ready for typing! This year, we are using Typing Pal.

Remember to focus on these things:

• Accuracy
• Good posture
• Home-row position (ASDF JKL;)
• Looking at the screen, not at your fingers

Always try your best! With practice, you will develop speed.

After an exciting summer, school resumes on Wednesday, September 8th. I learned a lot this summer during a course for my doctoral degree. One of my goals for this year is to use more Web 2.0 tools with Grades 3 and 4, and to get some Lower School teachers to create blogs.

The three third grade classes each did their own newsletter. They selected their topics and wrote their articles with Apple’s Pages software. Then, they used digital cameras to capture images to illustrate their articles. Lastly, I combined all of the students’ articles into three different class newsletters. We all enjoyed our hard work!
