This week and next, students are working on creating a comic panel.
Mrs. Mouritsen's class did not create a comic this week. We desperately tried to work a Google Hangout with a class in Wisconsin. Here they are patiently waiting. It was an epic failure! I'm working on problem solving this issue so we can learn from people all over the country.
Second Grade
Last week and this week, students worked on computer coding. Students helped each other think through the processes of directional thinking. Last week's crier was actually the first student to complete the 20 levels. He did not use the conventional process of thought, but isn't that what we look for to create in the 21st century? We need people to think "out of the box".

Third & Fourth Grade
Finally, all of the 3rd and 4th graders have worked on NEWSELA. Students are loving it! These are high interest non-fiction articles at their level. Students worked with interactive questions, highlighting and note taking within the text. Every group had many students that did not want to stop. Gotta love it!!!
