Storybirds in Kindergarten

The kindergarten classes have been working really hard on writing stories together. This is the end result of the activity that we did with one class. I'm so proud of them!!!

Be sure to look out for more published work by other kindergarten classes!!

Music Class in the Library!

Who would have thought that we could have a music class in the library? Well, we can and we do! This week Mr. Pierre brought in his 5th grade music classes to collaborate with me on a research project. We worked with the students to help them research their music class choices for 6th grade. The students used the Chromebooks in the library and their Google Drive to access a Big 6 Unit that will help them to make an educated decision about their music choice for middle school. The students spend two class periods down in the library and any additional time their teacher gives them to finish up their research. At the end of the project, the music teachers from the middle school come over to Glenbrook and the students are given time to interview the teachers and ask any questions they couldn't answer during their research time. In the end, students make a decision about which 6th grade music class they would like to participate in next year and if their parents give them the okay, they are set!
