One group of students read, The Green Glass Sea, a novel by Ellen Klages, about the Manhattan Project, and Dillon turned in a great stop motion video presenting his research. Check it out!

2013 Independent Study Projects

Students select a topic of interest, a pursuit of passion, to study about for a month. Then they select a career person who would know lots about that topic to dress up like to present their research. Students used Edcanvas, Prezis and Powerpoints to present their topic. They created a presentation board that included a Wordle for their career. Students of all grade levels participated in this independent study project.

Shape Walk

Students in Mrs. Mooney's kindergarten class walked around the school to identify objects in real life to the shape they had in their hand. Great camera shots were taken and uploaded to PhotoStory. The students loved this activity. It was a fun learning experience. K.9B Students recognized shapes in real life objects such as balls, boxes, and cones or models of three dimensional geometric figures.
