Augmented Reality Experience

Preschooler, Kindergarten, and First Grade had a different experience during Library this week.  Instead of listening to Mrs. Matthews read a book, they watched the book video of The Dot by Peter Reynolds.  A little girl, Vashti, who thinks she can’t draw is challenged by her art teacher to make a mark on the page and then sign it.  She goes on to make more and more dots.  The students then made their mark by  creating their own “dot” pictures.

The pictures were then turned into 3D creations through the Colar app (http://colarapp.com/). The app is free as well as several sheets to color.  Parents can then download the app and view their child’s pictures.

Here are some samples of the creations from Tuesday:

Spaced Out!

[vimeo clip_id=”54900376″ width=”400″ height=”300″]

We have been learning about the Earth and its movement in space.  We are also learning about the moon, stars and other planets.  The second graders had a great time with the song “Night and Day”.  The song reinforced our understanding of the difference between rotation and orbit.  Plus, the song helps us to remember that the light we see from the moon is not its own light, but a reflection from the sun.  The moonlight concept can be hard to comprehend.  We hope you enjoy the song as much as we did.  A big thank you to the camerawoman, Mrs. Anderson for making this extra special!

Enjoy,
Mrs. Binger’s Second Grade

Going on a Field Trip

The elementary students, in grades Kindergarten through 5th, will be going on a field trip to Wind Cave National Park and Mount Rushmore National Monument on Wednesday, May 9, 2012. The bus will leave at 8:00 am and will arrive back to the school at 6:00 pm. The trip is free of charge to the students, but each child needs to dress appropriately and bring a sack lunch for the day.

The average temperature in the Wind Cave is about 60 degrees Farenheit, so students need to bring a jacket or sweatshirt and wear comfortable walking shoes. There are no FLIP-FLOPS allowed in the Wind Cave.

We are looking forward to having a fabulous day of fun and education!
