Parade of Presidents

The Second Grade Superstars have been busy working on their president research project. Each student researched a president and discovered what made their president so important to our country. The students then created a Movie Maker project using Crazy Talk. We sent a copy of our project to President Barack Obama. I hope he enjoys the show! All images were taken from http://www.whitehouse.gov/slideshows/presidents/. Music was taken from Soundzabound.

Book Trailers

Book Trailers by Sixth Grade

The sixth grade students are working on Book Trailers for their Spring book reports. Check out our first successful Animoto Book Trailer!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

The kindergarten students in Mrs. Erbe's class celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday. They made hats and came to the library to hear some of the classics by Dr. Seuss.

Australian Animal Research

The third grade students in Mrs. Youngs' class have been researching Australian Animals in the library. The students learned how to use on-line resources and print resources to find interesting animal information. After their research was done the students got to choose a picture of their animal from Google Images and then create a script using the program Crazy Talk. We then turned it into a movie using Movie maker. The movie was shown to their parents on Cupid Night. Check out the great movie!

The students at Greater Plains have been focusing on Black History Month. In library we have been reading books about Ruby Bridges and Rosa Parks. The second grade students in Mrs. Downie's class learned a song in music called "If You Miss Me From the Back of the Bus". They performed it in the library for us.
