Students have been working hard on their State Research projects in preparation for their big end of year states party. Students learned how to use a variety of resources to find information about their state online and in print. Students have been taking notes and using those notes to create the outline for their final research paper. Students have been typing their papers in Google Docs and using Google Classroom to turn them in. We have also been talking about the basics on citing sources using the EasyBib add on in Google Docs.

What's Going on in 5th & 6th
Sixth Grade: Sixth graders are using a program called Comic Life to create comics about a wide variety of topics. Students have been given a lot of choice during this project. They could create a Comic Life about themselves, a book they've read or a how to. We will be sharing these with each other using Kaizena and students will be able to comment on each other's work.
