It’s been a busy week filled with new projects. The biggest project this week is the Tripp School Study Blog which launches today. This blog is designed for 3rd and 4th grade students. Together with the classroom teachers, we will be providing links to videos, games, and activities that reinforce subjects and concepts being taught in the classroom. The blog will be updated at the end of each week until the beginning of ISAT testing this spring. Please take the time to visit it with your children and have them use it a couple times a week.
First graders continue to work on their How to Build a Snowman project. Most classes are now finished with 3 of their 4 illustrations and should have the final project finished in a couple of weeks.
Second graders will use their lab time this and next week to do some online Geography and Map Skills activities. We have a selection of Brainpop and Discovery Education Streaming videos for them to watch as well as some fun continent and compass games for them to play. This will all lead into an exciting outdoor P.E. project this Spring.
Third grade began working on their Simple Machines project this week. This year, they’ll be using Keynote to create a short quiz game about simple machines and their real life applications. Look for this games to be posted to (and playable on) the class wikis when they are finished in a few weeks.
Some of our fourth graders continue to work on their Rock Riddles. A few students finished up this week and I expect most classes to be finished by the end of next week. Mrs. Priestley’s class continues to make good use of MyAccess to create, submit, and evaluate their writing projects while Mrs. Pfeil’s class is nearing the end of their African American History project. Look for those presentations to be posted to the class wikis in mid February.
