Mrs. Hibbs' class has worked on a weather PBL that included conducting several WebQuests.  These WebQuests allowed the students to take virtual field trips through hurricanes and tornadoes, as well as other weather phenomena.  The students send messages via Edmodo, where they also take quizzes and can link to other sites.  Coming soon is Mrs. Hibbs' class website where the students will be able to link directly to specific WebQuests and other websites that provide additional information on topics that we are currently studying.  Next week we will begin a new WebQuest to learn more about force and motion.  The students will sum up their experience by designing their own roller coasters!

Martin's Little Publishers

Over the last few weeks, my class has been learning about the various elements of informational writing. After going through the writing process, my students have began to publish their pieces as e-books using an ipad app. These e-books are available as digital downloads through email and can be read on any e-reader app such as Kindle, iBooks, or Nook.
