This week 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade began work on Comic Life projects in the iLab. 2nd Graders are working on Fable passports. The Fable passports are summaries of fables students are reading on MeeGenius. The students summarize their fables using Comic Life. The third grade is also using Comic Life as a research template. 3rd Graders are assigned a planet. They describe their planet as if they are the planet. The "I am" construct coupled with Comic Life is a fun way for the students to compose their work. 4th Grade is also using a Comic Life to interpret poetry. Attached are some samples of 3rd and 4th grade work.

iMovie 4th & 5th Grade
Students are learning to compose movies with iMovie. This week in art class students will be contributing to their winter concert repertoire by composing rich media filled movies.
The movies will be playing in the background, while the students sing. Above, is an example from Mrs. Backe's 5th grade class. This tool is exciting and engaging for students. It is a great alternative assessment of learning. Students and teachers are able to see exactly what students have learned in a fun format.
This program is available on all district computers. Learning iMovie is fun and easy. If you would like more information about iMovie, please feel free to contact me at:
