Students at Work on Netbooks

Ms. Stefonsky's second grade class hard at work on their grade level netbooks. 

Timelines with Inspiration

Ms. Stefonsky's second graders were learning about chronology by reading a biography of a historic person.  While they read, they took notes and composed a timeline of the important events of that person, especially what their contribution was.  After that, they went on the software program, Inspiration, and made a timeline of their historic person. They were able to add graphics to enhance their timelines.  The students enjoyed learning about different people in history, as they shared their timelines.
