We have continued to learn a lot while having fun in the lab! We are so grateful for our wonderful parents here at B-W, our new laptops are awesome! Thank you, B-W Foundation, for supporting our Media Lab.

Kindergarten students practiced their “home row” and learned how to use the shift key for capital letters. They were excited to print out their work. Some first grade classrooms are continuing to work on their “e-book” which we hope to have uploaded soon for you to enjoy. First graders have also been practicing their math skills. Some second grade classes had fun creating a new design for our laptop desktops (wallpaper). Third graders are busy working on their “Famous Artists” projects. Our fourth graders are done making their iVIE films, maybe B-W will take home an iVIE, but no matter what happens, we are proud of their work. More info about our films will be posted soon. Our fifth graders continue to work on their “e-books” and short films for their Panda Pals/Little Buddies. We can’t wait to share it with them!

Until next time,

Ms. Kathy and her wonderful students!

During the month of February, primary grades did special Valentine’s Day projects such as crossword puzzles and word searches. Some first grade classes have been busy working on their “eBook” project, writing sentences, drawing pictures and taking photographs. First and second graders have also been using sites online to practice their math skills. Third graders followed suit with the Daytona 500 and “raced” around the track practicing their multiplication skills. Thanks for checking in and remember to stop by and say hi anytime!

Hello all,

We have been very busy in the Media Lab, working hard but having fun too! Primary students have been creating movies through interactive sites, learned about self-esteem, helping our school and community, differences between fact and fiction, created crossword puzzles, and have worked on sites to practice spelling, sentence structure and long and short vowels, all depending on their grade level. The fourth graders have continued to work on their iVIE submissions including script and storyboard writing and learning about pitch, tone and inflection when reading their lines. Fifth graders have been working on a special project for their kinder Panda Pals and when they are completed we will post some for you to see. Other fifth graders have been working on a project that ties in with our “School of Heart” and self-esteem.

Thanks for visiting and feel free to stop by anytime to say hello!

Ms. Kathy and her awesome students!

Recent fun in the lab!

Students in grades K-3 have been busy creating their digital stories and have had a lot of fun using Photo Booth. Fourth graders are continuing to edit their “practice” movies in order to be ready to begin working on our movies for the iVIES which will be here before we know it! The students have learned so much in just a few short weeks.
