Evaluating Web Sites

Fifth grade students have been learning how to evaluate websites. We use the simple to remember "Who,What,When,Where and Why?" method.  Even though we have lessons on the Internet and digital citizenship on a regular basis, it always surprises them somewhat to find out that they can't always tell a real website from a hoax on their own. When they used the 5 W's though, they did a better job of finding reliable sites that they can trust.

Brookwood Bird Cam

Update: 4/23/15
Sadly, a predator attacked the nest today taking off with three eggs and damaging the fourth. We have moved the camera to a classroom that is raising some baby quails.

Update: 4/30/15  We are NOT currently broadcasting. But if you click HERE, you can still watch some of the videos we recorded of the robin's nest. Look to the right of the video screen for a link to the recordings.



Our bird cam is live!

You can also watch it by clicking here. (FYI - There will be occasional commercials which we have no control over.I recommend just turning off the sound as there is not any sound for the bird cam.)

Donations Needed for the LFL

The Brookwood Library is working with the United Way to keep the Little Free Library (LFL) in Lakeshore Park stocked with books. If you have any books that you would like to donate, please send them to Mrs. Wagner in the Media Center. We can use all kinds of books - adult, juvenile, fiction, or non-fiction. Please send a note with the books that they may be used for the LFL. Thank you!
