Staff,
The following is an update of some of what's going on at IMS time.  In the K-2 groups we are exploring the differences between fiction and non-fiction with a cool on-line site called Bookflix.  The previous link gets you to the login page.  I have signed Corral up for a 30 day free trial.  The username is (bkflix).  The password is (move).  It has fiction and non-fiction side by side.  If you want to see a fiction story about sharks, you can.  Right next to it is a non-fiction story about sharks.

The 3-5 groups are exploring a resource from the library called the "Children's Atlas of the United States."  We are doing a review of it's contents.  I have also created an on-line Edmodo quiz that they will take next week.  To follow up the use of the atlas we will be using Google Earth to explore and answer more questions on Edmodo.

If you have any questions or input, let me know.

Dave
