The second graders have been busily learning how to create animation. Our first try was to create Jack-o-lantern animations. Enjoy them.

1. They created a new Google doc<br />
2. They typed using different fonts, sizes and colors information about a Massachusetts state symbol (information from their SS book)<br />
3. They learned what copy and paste means and then practiced it.<br />
4. They learned what wordart is and they used the website wordart.com to practice making wordart<br />
5. They created the final wordart by copying and pasting their MA state document words into wordart and creating a cool shape and adding color.<br />
6. Enjoy the slideshow of all their hard work.<br />

Mrs. Holmes' class filmed theirs in technology so we used the green screen and iPad to video them. They worked cooperatively to have a partner hold the microphone for them, while they concentrated on reading their book review. Great job, 1st graders!<br />

This time we checked out more items to see if they were conductors or insulators. We used bananas, lemons, limes, potatoes and all the items from last week including Play-doh! It was certainly a fun and exciting learning time for all.<br />

Makey Makey's are circuit boards that connect to the computer for power. Then the students make circuits using all types of connective items. We tried out all types of items yesterday, to discover which were conductors and which were insulators. Here is a short video showing the hands on learning.<br />

This has been a collaborative lesson from both library and technology. They used the ReadWriteThink website and took pictures of the books using the Chrome Books. They learned how to use the camera, save the pictures to their Google Drive and create the timelines. Great project, and here is a Google Slideshow of some of their hard work.<br />
