While surfing the web, I ran across a blog site for Green Meadow Elementary School in Oshkosh, WI. It’s packed full of information for parents and students including recent events, what students are currently working on, and links to outside websites to assist with learning.
First graders at Green Meadow recently learned how to set up a powerpoint presentation! First graders! That's crazy! Forth grade students assisted the little ones with formatting and such. What a great "partnership" between students helping each other!
This blog site also offers information to parents on various events such as a Pancake Supper. As a single parent of a 7th grader, parent involvement is priority. I have typed the Causey Middle School newsletter several times. Although I have a full-time, stressful job, I still MADE the time to be Room Mother when Hannah was in the 4th and 5th grade. As Room Mother, I had the "inside scoop".
A blog site for Barrett Elementary School in Arlington, VA features various videos put together by students. One video highlights facts on paper recycling. My current profession is with soil and water conservation, so I could use this video while speaking to a local school group about conservation.
Another video includes 1st graders showing "HOW TO" videos -- "HOW TO" make paper airplanes and snowflakes, "HOW TO" tie shoes, "HOW TO" jump rope, "HOW TO" take a bath (of course, demonstrated by washing a Barbie doll), and even "HOW TO" make paper (from paper…didn’t quite get that one, but it was cute…).
I tried to post the video on Trees. However, if it doesn't, here's the link.
Check it out!
Great blog entry. Really like the video.
