Trustworthy Bingo

Students are learning about good research practices in reading class.  This week, we have mostly focused on finding 'trustworthy' information, which means they can find the fact in more than one place.  During this lesson, students interviewed each other and then analyzed their research.  Which responses could they trust?  Why?  Which responses were opinions?  Why?  Which responses would require more research?  Why?

Snail Fun

Mrs. Liddell used an iPad app called Stop Motion Studio Pro HD to take pictures over time and turn them into a video. This video she made is of snails over a 2-hour time period. Notice how the snails not only eat a lot but also how they move things. FUN! - Mr. Kimzey
