Earth Has A Message For You

I am so excited about a new school year! To start the year, Earth has a special message for you. Click here to see it.

I WON!!!!

Until recently, I had a link to an owl webcam through Wild Watch. When I checked the link today the video was gone due to the owls leaving. In my search for another owl webcam I came across Molly and McGee.  Perfect timing too.....there was a contest to win one of these cute, fuzzy owl beanie babies.

So, look for which one will be in our classroom. We will watch Molly and McGee throughout the year and dissect owl pellets (can you guess what that is???)

"All About Me"

In the past, my students were given a booklet to fill out about themselves at the end of the year. This booklet served as a memory book to jot down their favorite things about themselves and the school year. However, 32 students and 5 pages each did not sit well with me. After all, I am a science teacher and each year I teach them ways to preserve the environment. :)
So this year I decided to have them create a memory book using Power Point. They had a blast attaching their pictures, finding clip art to represent their favorite things, and changing themes and transitions! After their project was complete, they saved it to Drop Box, an online file-hosting service. This saved time and my sanity.
This Glog showcases some of the projects.

Summer Projects

I have been creating various projects this summer using different applications. My goal is to determine whether they are user-friendly for 4th grade and keep students engaged. 

Take a look at these projects and let me know if this is something you are interested in learning.
