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

3rd graders have been hard at work learning how to use their Google Accounts and all the different apps.
1.  They created a new Google doc
2.  They typed using different fonts, sizes and colors information about a Massachusetts state symbol (information from their SS book)
3.  They learned what copy and paste means and then practiced it.
4.  They learned what wordart is and they used the website wordart.com to practice making wordart
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.
6. Enjoy the slideshow of all their hard work.

The October Wolfy News is finally finished.  Watch and enjoy all the Open Pantry and Halloween pictures!

2nd graders are learning to create animation by taking many pictures of very small changes.  They are using the Stop Motion app on the iPads and are taking up to 50 pictures.  Here is an example of a jack-o-lantern family.

After listening to The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, the Kindergarteners used Doodle Buddy to draw their own caterpillar eating something delicious.  Mrs. Dufraine put their pictures into iMovie. We added a voiceover to explain exactly what their caterpillars were eating.  Please enjoy their hard work.

Several of the 3rd graders are trying out an iPad app that uses the cool green in my classroom.  It is called DoInk.

The kindergarten students listened to the "Rainbow Fish" online book and tried their hand at drawing a rainbow fish using the drawing app Doodle Buddy.

Whoooooooo!    Having fun at this time of the year with Stop Motion app on the iPads.  Enjoooooy!!

Welcome back!  It has been a wonderful start to the new year.  The 5th graders have created the first TV show for the school and here it is for you to enjoy.

Congratulations on your "clap-out", 5th graders!  Good luck in middle school!

Fun for all to watch!  WSR "bloopers" and the 5th grade graduation "chant"!

 A wonderful video showing the students practicing for their Wax Museum project!

One of the last efforts of the 5th graders! Great job!

5th graders have done it again.  Nice job!  Enjoy all of their hard work.

Newest Wolf Swamp Review!  After a crashed teacher computer, we have worked hard to make a new TV show.  More to come soon!

The 1st graders have been reading books and writing book reviews about their favorite book!  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!

The TIES, Technology in Education Showcase, was a great success yesterday evening.  We had over 300 visitors, per our visitor counter, and the students were excellent presenters of their littleBits creations.  Here is a short video about the event:

Here is a slideshow with several of the TIES events from our wonderful school, Wolf Swamp Road!! Enjoy

Today, we used our Makey Makey circuit boards again. 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.

The 5th graders are starting a great unit using the Makey Makey boards.  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.

The 4th graders tried out new robots today in technology.  Using the the Blockly and Blockly, Jr. apps they tried out "Dot" and "Dash". The students had to create programs to move Dash's body,and/or head and to change colors of both robots along with introducing various sounds!
