Normandy Village-Ms. Cagle 4/5 STAR Class Ms. Cagle’s class has been working on weather and storm exploration. The students visited sites that they found within their search in [|Nettrekker] and [|Google]. In addition, they played a few games that supported their study of weather. After our brief study into weather, I had the students research 3 different types of storms, gather a few facts about each one and collect 2 pictures of their choice that display the storm. I instructed the students that we would be creating a presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint. After learning a couple of new PowerPoint tools each day, the students began their presentations using the information they collected. They enjoyed being able to store their collection in one place and know that they could use it in the future too!



Normandy Village-Ms. Varnell 2/3 STAR Class Lions and tigers and bears, Oh My! Ms. Varnell’s students were studying how the seasons/weather affects animals. Having limited time with the students did not allow us to work on a project, but we did get to do some pretty cool stuff! All of the class went on a [|WebQuest] with me using Zunal. The webquest helped us to think like an animal. We pretended that it was winter time and it would be snowing for the next month. The students picked an animal that they wanted to portray and then researched using Google to see how snow would affect the animal’s daily routine or if it even hibernates during the winter. The class had a good time pretending to be an animal and they learned something too!
