Enjoy all the excitement of October by watching our 5th graders create a show to highlight all the happenings around our school!

The Kindergarteners are learning to draw on the iPad using Doodle Buddy app.  They had to draw a picture of a pumpkin to go along with book "The Legend of Spookley, the Square Pumpkin". Enjoy these two wonderful drawings.

The 2nd grade classrooms have butterfly habitats and the students are learning all about the butterfly life cycle.In technology class, we examined a pumpkin and learned all about the pumpkin life cycle; here is the iMovie version of that life cycle!

 Seed ---> Seedling ---> Vines ---> Flowers ---> Green Pumpkins ---> Orange Pumpkins

3rd graders are exploring the planets! They have used the iPads and iMovie and have been discovering facts about the solar system.  They are also learning the phrase to remember the order of the planets "My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nachos."

 

 

 

October has arrived along with Fall. Enjoy the newest 5th grade project, a Wolf Swamp School TV show to highlight events in the school.  Using the new video camera, tripod and the green screen the 5th graders read a script from a teleprompter and created the first of many TV shows.

Also enjoy some of the collages made by the 1st grade using Fall words.  The collages were made on the iPad with the Pic Collage app.

 

The second graders also gave it a try and had fun adding backgrounds and stickers to their Fall words.
Notice Curious George had many Halloween costumes on!

 

On with September:

The first graders are serious about being a good friend and knowing how others are feeling.  Here are videos with some first grade actors and actresses (you will notice we used the green screen and some of our actresses had green on and blended in with the background!):
All videos are unlisted, meaning you need a link to view them.

4th grade created another Wordle, but this one was about themselves and their teachers had them create a "Wordle person" .  They came out wonderfully.  Here are a couple of them:

2nd graders have been busy with the Bluster app on the iPads, working alone with ryhming words and now working in groups.

Third graders had their Voice QRcodes out for Open House and teachers and parents read them!

Both 4th and 5th graders are working on opening their Google Accounts and getting them up and running.  We will be learning how to create a Google doc next.

5th graders also created questions and answers using QRcodes for the summer reading book, The Sixty-Eight Rooms by Marianne Malone.

Welcome back to school everyone.! It is going to be a great 2013-2014 school year.

1st graders iMovie and voiceovers!  What a wonderful group of students and teachers.

The 4th graders have already been busy starting Wordles about the summer reading book, The Sixty-Eight Rooms by Marianne Malone.

and some QR code using www.qrvoice.net to create QR codes about ourselves in the 3rd grade! Thanks to Mrs. Giuggio for finding the cool website!

Try some of them out!

First graders watched Ernest Bourgnine read the book "The Rainbow Fish" using Apple TV technology, then drew their own rainbow fish using the Doodle Buddy app on the iPad.  Here a several of the pictures.
