Citing Websites

In 5th Grade, we are leaning about citations. In the past weeks we have practiced citing books. We are now working on citing websites for our research. Students are practicing finding the name of the website and finding a URL.

We are working together to identify the parts of a website. Students will then practice the skills independently. Next we will work on citing images.

Students used these links to practice with:
Mt. Rainier
Mt. Rainier 2
Tiger

6th Grade Non Fiction Book Reviews

Hard at work!

Sixth grade teachers asked me if I would pull some interesting non-fiction books that students could read. Each student then chose a book that was of high interest to them. Students were given two weeks to read their books. Their teachers worked with students to write a summary of the book and a book review. Students also picked out important vocabulary and interesting facts they learned.

When students were ready to publish their review, I pushed into each sixth grade room to teach students how to use SMORE to create an online flier. I have a classroom subscription and will renew my subscription next year. I used it earlier this year with our 4th grade state research. It is a versatile easy to use tool for students (and adults). I can't recommend it enough! See our book review below. They turned out great!

Kindergarten MN Animal Research

In kindergarten students have been learning that non-fiction books give use information. Students have been learning about the biomes of Minnesota in their classes. In library, we practiced reading for information. We learned that researchers can use the pictures to help get facts. Reading pictures is one of the ways that we read books.

Students were each given a Minnesota animal to become experts on. In library they found out: What does my animal look like, what does it eat, and where does it live.

In class students then wrote about their animals and drew a picture. In library, students then used Little Bird Tales to create an online report of their learning. In class, they recorded themselves reading their report.

Click your child's class to see and hear what we learned!

Students did a great job! (make sure to notice that each teacher has 2 pages.) Also-- you might need to turn up the volume.

**A BIG thank you to all the parent volunteers that helped with this project!
