Language Arts - Students are working on a major project for the next two weeks. They are creating an ending to the story I've been reading to them in class. The difference is that they are making a video of their endings. So I'm going to ask for your help and indulgence.

If you have a camera capable of capturing video would you consider letting the students use it for their project. If students bring the camera to school I will make sure that they secure and kept safely locked in my closet. Students then can use our computers to edit and create the movie.


Math students worked on a perimeter and area worksheet today.

Our door decorating committee is working hard on our door.
