The fourth graders finished up learning how to use the Destiny Catalog and evaluating websites. They were introduced to Google Classroom where they logged in, found their assignment, completed it and turned it in - all online! Learning to use the catalog and knowing good websites will come in handy when they do their research project about Illinois starting in January.
The fifth graders created Movenote presentations about the 13 colonies. It was fun to watch them right before vacation. Each group researched and presented about a different colony, so as we viewed them, we were able to compare and contrast the colonies and make decisions about which colony each of us might have wanted to have lived in. The students also learned a lot about what makes a good interview and filming techniques. You can view your child's Movenote from their Google Account.
