Spring Session Week 7

Kindergarten Spanish:
Our last week of the session before our pinata party next week! We read Paco and the Giant Chile Plant by Keith Polette and rotated through 4 different centers: hi ho cherryo, farm and transportation play, playdoh fruits and vegetables, and fruit salad minibook creation. I've really enjoyed these little guys this year and look forward to seeing them next year in technology class.

B1-2 Technology:
My first attempt with a Google Earth Lit Trip went well! We watched Make Way For Ducklings and then tracked the journey of the ducklings through Boston using google earth. It was interesting to compare the street views of today's Boston with the illustrations in the 1940's story. Afterwards, we used Kerpoof to make pond pictures that also included a key point learned this session about ponds.

3-4 Technology:
As a year end project, 3-4 students are making a movie called "Fort Craig Fun" using Windows MovieMaker, a free program you can easily download if it is not already installed on your computer. This week, the students imported their pictures from the yearbook folders and added video transitions. They also made their own original music to use in their movie at the website MyBytes Students created a username and password so this site can also be used from home-enjoy the music!
