Project Progress

Luckily, my Literacy Project has been occurring since January 31st through the form of a classroom blog. A small group of reading intervention students have been reading Diary of a Witness with me three times a week for forty-five minutes. We read a chapter a day and reflect on our reading through responding to blog posts. With the CMTs, the science fair, and spring break complete, I can now resume our group. We are approximately 3/4 of the way through the book, so I am excited to announce that I BELIEVE that the students' final project associated with the book will be complete before our class is complete!

Animoto-ing Real Issues

I've found that many of the Animotos I've viewed were light and "fluffy". Many include cartoon characters, wording, or songs. I've decided to take a different route and create a statement piece on the power of peer pressure; our next sixth grade unit. One animoto that has given me many ideas is this Civil Rights animoto. Check it out! Another example is below!!
