Grades 6 - 8We finished up our Beginner Typing Lessons this week and completed our last activity for Schemes and Scams on the Internet. Students had to view three (3) "phony" or "phishing" emails and be able to identify what was suspicious in each. They have become aware that generic messages (addressed to no one specific), misspellings, threats to close accounts and questionable links within the email asking for personal information are all red flags they need to be aware of. Next week is Spirit Week so we will have some fun things planned. After Winter Break, we will begin our unit on Note-taking Skills. Grades 3 - 5Students viewed some great examples of Book Trailers this week created by students their age from other schools. Be sure to check out Mrs. Unger's book trailer example on this website under Resources. After we found partners, we spent some time brainstorming ideas of books that we've read that would make great book trailers. We had to come up with a minimum of 5 books. Next time we are together, we will begin mapping out our trailers by creating scripts and gathering images and thinking about the music we'd like to use. Students will be using Animoto to create their book trailers which will be published on this website when completed for parents to view. Grades K - 2We had fun using Animal Graphic Organizers as we listened for facts about Groundhogs. Many of us had no problem listening to the video, entering data into our graphic organizer and sharing what we found with the class. Soon, we will be using simple databases to conduct research on other topics so this was an excellent start.
