Value of the Month: Fairness and Justice

Maryam K was our Ambassador for the month of January for Fairness and Justice. She made a wonderful presentation using Glogster... and I forgot to post it! Sorry, Maryam! Thanks for being so patient! I hope you all agree with me that her Glog was worth the wait. Check it out below!

Commitment is the Value of the Month of February!

Please post a sticky and help our class and our Ambassador of the month, Grace, come up with ideas for her presentation on Commitment! Thanks!

Native American Presentations

Our class has been working for the past month on creating presentation slides to teach others about some early Native American tribes. Our focus was on understanding how geography and location affect each tribe. We also learned about some of the customs and folklore associated with the tribes and the structure of their system of government and economy. You can see what the students learned by viewing the slide shows below. To meet our technology integration goals, we used Google documents to take notes on our assigned area/region. Next, we collaborated within our specific Native American groups to design slide shows using Google Presentation. Finally, each group searched Google Images to locate a variety of pictures to help our readers visualize the content. We created hyperlinks within our presentations to the images so that we could practice that skill, as well as share them with our viewers. The students presented the presentations in class, listened to constructive feedback from their peers, and then made their final edits.

We are pleased to share our final presentations with you. We hope you enjoy the slide shows and please leave us some feedback by commenting below!

Sincerely,
5th Grade Orange

Sign of the Beaver

We finished reading Sign of the Beaver by Elizabeth George Speare last week. The students made scrapbooks for our final project. For one of the pages, our class created a group Tagxedo about the book. Here it is! We hope you like it!

Self Control Glogsters for December's Value of the Month

Here are the completed Glogs for Self-control by Youssef and Omar S.  They are the ambassadors for the month of December.  Both scholars presented their glogsters in class, then answered questions from their classmates about the topic.  Our class discussed how self control is more than just resisting the urge to goof around in class, or waiting patiently for your turn. It is also something we must aspire to achieve our whole life long to avoid the temptations out there that try to divert us from being the best we can be!  We hope you enjoy them!
