Art students exploring Africa

4th and 5th grade students used Google Earth and the website Our Africa to explore art, landforms, and life in Africa to be inspired with their Ugly Doll or Sockpuppet creations. Student's Ugly Doll or Sock Puppet will then be donated to the Austin Children's Shelter or Helping Hand Home for Children.

Students were in awe of the culture in Africa.

4th Graders Using Google Suite and BYOD to Research Lonestar Heros

Students in 4th grade are researching Lonestar Heros as part of a multi-week project.  Students utilized the research function in Google Docs to supplement their research of their person.  The Research function allows students to search for information and images and then cites the source for them as a footnote.  Several students brought their own device to use in class.  This helped increase the device to student ratio so that more students could work on their project at school.

2nd Grade Classes learn to Research Online

As part of learning how to research using online resources, all of 2nd Grade did a class PowerPoint on Cheetahs. It was a great way to learn as a group the process of sifting through information to find what we need to do our reports. The classes did a great job working together and are ready to do some research in groups! As part of the learning process, students learned how to navigate the school and library websites to find our Online Databases and Encyclopedias. Ask a Second Grader how to use PebbleGo, Britannica Encyclopedia and World Book Encyclopedia to conduct Research.

2nd Grade Online Research

All of our Second grade classes learned some key research features. Using our children online encyclopedias listed on our Research Resources, students found answers to their questions. This was a great project covering many of our Technology TEKS as students saved and printed key information as well as recording it.
