Focus Friday in the Media Center

One of my favorite things to do is co-teach!  Our Media Specialist, Mrs. Chaney, offers this opportunity as often as possible!  Getting right back into the groove of things in 2016 the first Focus Friday in the Media Center brought digital learning FUN!!

  

Mrs. Chaney read aloud to Kindergarten and First Grade students about seasonal weather and dress before students practices their VA Technology SOLs using laptops to practice using the touchpad, mouse, and drag and drop skills during a Dress for Winter or Winter Animals interactive screen.   (find the links on our Special Events Page)

Students in 4th and 5th grade were inspired by poetry by Jack Prelutsky and then created their own Winter Poems using a Winter Magnetic Poetry lesson created by Kasey Bell of ShakeUpLearning.com.  

Mrs. Chaney saved a copy of this file and passed it out to students through Google Classroom so each student had their own file.  Stay tuned for a finished product slide show of our poems! 

Winter Magnetic Poetry in Google Slides!

Google Classroom...Google Slides...First Grade

The first grade team continued introducing their students to digital learning when they typed letters to Santa in a Google Slides template "passed out" through Google Classroom.



Students logged-in to laptop computers as well as iPads using the Google Classroom and Google Slides Apps.









Our wish is to one day be 1:1 with iPads so students can personalize the use of the apps and not have to log-in and log-out of their learning resources.

 In the meantime, they are rocking their Virginia Technology  SOLs and truely participating in 21st Century Learning!
