Google Story Builder

This week in the computer lab, the students used Google's Story Builder to create conversations between 2 or more characters. Click on the link below which will take you to a spreadsheet with an on-going collection of the students' stories.

The results are pretty entertaining and very creative! They had a great time making them. I hope you enjoy them! 

Elements of Art Zentangle Trees

For the last few weeks we have been working on a beautiful art that combines the students' knowledge of warm and cool colors and line. Inside the tree, students used a variety of line designs known as Zentangles.

The finished pieces are truly beautiful.

Student Created Videos

For the past few days, students have been creating videos on my iPad using Educreations to explain a word problem to the rest of the class. They had to understand what was being asked in the problem, come up with a solution, write an explanation, and make sure it was all done in a way that someone else could easily solve the same word problem.

The students absolutely loved making their videos. I hope you'll check them out and see what they were able to create. It's amazing what they are able to do!
