21st Century Skills
- Collaboration- We have had many, various groups who have collaborated well to complete their project
- Technology-Students have created either a Smore or a presentation in Keynote. Some have added videos as extension projects. We have been impressed!
We started each lesson with a pre-assessment. If your child completed the pre-assessment with accuracy, we sent them to the MakerSpace to begin the project. We assessed at the end of the lesson as well to let your students show us what they knew. We use this information to plan future lessons so that students benefit from one lesson to the next. This also gives us a better glimpse of who needs to be challenged, who is on track, and who needs a little more help.

Thursday Newsletters!
You can expect a folder to be coming home soon with your child next Thursday. We will continue online communication but want to send paper copies as well. Folders will make it easier for you to find what we send and for you to send anything our way!

Coming Right Along!
We will send a copy of your child's Smore home or e-mail to you within the next few weeks.
Some students are working on Keynote until we can get the Prezi app working.
Keynote is harder to post in the Smore for you to view. These two Smores are a BRIEF GLIMPSE into what students are doing. Many Smores and Keynotes are still a work in progress.
