Third and fourth graders have been using Internet Pathfinders, stored on our Media Wiki, for Internet researching. For both grades, this is an opportunity for using informational text, in electronic forms (websites and eBooks), to find the information they need. The Colonial Webquest that the fourth graders have been working on also incorporates skills such as using charts, map reading, drawing inferences, and forming and supporting opinions. Third graders are also using printed reference and non-fiction books in their research on rocks, minerals, and soil.

Snow Day for Pre-K!
Happy New Year!
Here are some pictures where we are making SNOW with pre-k. We read several books on snow during the last two library visits, but we hadn't seen any snow in Dalton yet, so we made our own! The pictures are a little grainy because we had a power outage right before we started! Funny story - I was getting the students to quiet down by counting down from 5 to 1 so we could start making snow. Just as I said "One" - out went the lights and the kids all thought I made them go out! :) It was neat to watch the snow forming and everybody got to feel and play with it for a few minutes before it was time to leave.
