After next weeks' voting we will be moving on to other topics.  If you have time, please contact me about what your grade level is working on in both Math and Literacy.   Thanks

The week in 3rd-5th we are winding down our work on the book trailers.  I'm seeing a few groups or individuals completing their work.  That's always exciting to see these new products.  I will email a link to all completed "non-fiction book trailers" when I get them posted to the web. Each of the projects needed some specific things to be completed: Cover Page Slide (Title and Author) ; Table of Contents (highlighting 2 chapters ; Recorded Narration ; Background Music ; Glossary (highlighting 2 important words ; Index (highlighting) 2 words + Page numbers ; Credits Page (Clip Art-Google),
(Photo Story-Music), Narration (Student Names), Slide Design (Student Names).

If you have time, please contact me about what your grade level is working on in both Math and Literacy. Thanks

Thanks for checking out this post.
