Newsletter for April 28, 2017

What We Learned This Week

Science 
Students began using BookCreator, an app on their iPads, to create books about the Tree Trek. While I am often disappointed with apps, I find this one to be very intuitive and a great tool for students to share what they have learned. It is a true multi-media tool, incorporating images and sound and is only limited by the students' creativity.



    

Important Dates & Reminders

I hope you are able to come to Kid Fest (and that the rain holds off!). Have a lovely weekend.


I will not need reading volunteers for the remainder of the year. We are doing several science, reading and writing based projects and will need to use our WIN time for these. I cannot thank our reading volunteers enough for all of your help!
