Fourth Grade Makes a Word Cloud to Celebrate Digital Learning at S.E.S.

One cool way to organize a list of related words is to create a "wordcloud".  A word cloud is a visual representation of keywords or "tags" and sometimes data.  Mrs. Chappell's 4th grade made this word cloud to highlight digital learning and digital citizenship.  You can make your own by visiting http://www.tagxedo.com

First Grade Illustrators

In first grade we are learning a new way to be authors and illustrators.  We are learning about topic sentences, details, and closings to improve our writing. Today we used Paint on the computer to create an illustration of a spider. We are going to use our spider we created to publish a writing piece to display in our hallway. We are so excited to learn about new ways we can use technology to make learning exciting and fun!
