Small Moment iMovies

Pre-K Pals

We met our Pre-K Pals on Friday. The 3rd graders had a wonderful time being the 'teacher' to their buddy. They led an interview to find out about their pre-k'er'and to discover similarities between each other. The 3rd grader and pre-k'er' then worked together to make a flower showing this information. It was a fantastic way to spend Friday morning building relationships across divisions in the school.

iPad Update

We have started to utilize our iPads more regularly as a learning tool in the classroom. Some ways certain apps have been integrated into daily life are:

• Numbers: for a Reading Log 
• Skitch: as our whiteboard for mental math 
• Socrative: take quizzes 
• Doodle Buddy: participate in a Dot Art Project Around the World
• Dictionary: to find word origins and synonyms for ordinary words in our writing
