Fifth Grade: Students completed letters to President Obama. They were sent off on Thursday. Hopefully students will receive replies. Most students wrote 2-3 drafts for a perfect letter. I noticed many students did not know how to properly address an envelope. This would be a great skill to work on at home.
Fourth Grade: Students worked on an Autobiography page for the class Wiki. Next week we'll be talking about topics students would like to research. They will be using appropriate search sites such as http://kidsclick.org/
www.enchantedlearning.com
Third Grade: Students began work on a PowerPoint about their field trip to the state capitol. Students are responsible for using appropriate font, background, and correct sentence structure including capital letters, punctuation, and correct spelling. Hopefully I will be able to upload and share some of the presentations.
Some important things to help your child with in creating PowerPoint presentations:
- Use font that is large enough to view but not gigantic
- Use the same background for each slide
- No more than 1 piece of clip art per slide
- Correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling
- Transitions between slides should be consistent and not too fast or slow
Second Grade: Students learned to create a table using Microsoft Word. They were given five pairs of opposites that they had to match up.
First Grade: Students used problem solving skills to put together puzzles using a free site. http://blackdog4kids.com/zoo/puzzles/index.html
