Students Introduced to Mackin Via

During class library time, students were introduced to Mackin Via with a cooperative lesson from the Librarian, Ms. Williams and ITS, Ms. Torres.  Ms. Torres reviewed with primary grade levels how to log on the computer using their individual computer credentials and how to navigate to the Library Resources on the school website.  Ms. Williams then oriented students on how to navigate Mackin Via and check out e-books.

Preparing for STAAR goes interactive

As classes prepare for the upcoming STAAR Tests, they get interactive with Promethean Boards and Voting Devices.  Here are just a few examples of a 5th Grade Science, 4th and 3rd Grade Math Review Flipcharts.  Using the voting devices is a great way for teachers to get instant feedback on what skills need further review.

Graphing in Grade 3

In preparation for their Independent Study Project, Grade 3 TAG students worked with Ms. Canfield and Ms. Hintz to learn how to graph in MS Excel. Students worked with a few different types of data to create and manipulate bar graphs and line graphs. Students did fantastic work making some individualized graphs, assessing if the charts represented the data they want to portray. We are excited to see what data students choose to represent their projects in visual graphs.
