We’ve Gone LIVE!!!

Thursday marked a historical moment in 4A’s learning environment… We’ve gone live on Edmodo! Students have been using Edmodo in specials with Mrs. Chang and Ms. Richardson. Now they’re using it in 4A. We conducted two simple assignments, but more is on the way. Our first project in Edmodo will be a book club. We’ll read the book “Tuck Everlasting” by Natalie Babbitt. Students will have discussions with others in the class, turn in assignments, play and practice their skills with the different apps offered through Edmodo as well as take quizzes and instantly see their score!!

Check out these videos to learn a little more about Edmodo:

NWHI-Northwestern Hawaiian Islands

We’ve learned a lot about our Kupuna Islands and Hawaiian Archipelago!  Please watch the NWHI-video and write 4 meaningful “Did you know” statements. Remember these are factual statements.

Here’s an example:

Example #1: Did you know there are 10 Hawaiian Islands to the Northwest of Kauai and Ni’ihau.

Example #2: Did you know that there are a lot birds on the Kupuna Islands because plants and animals come first before Humans on these Hawaiian Islands.

Service Learning Projects 2012 (Working Progress)

What is Service Learning?

 

Students brainstormed different thoughts and ideas about service learning. The picture above was the foundation to their service learning project.

Throughout the school year students have identified different issues that affect life in Hawaii. They researched their topics, brainstormed ideas to make a difference in these issues, and have started to TAKE ACTION!

In their teams, students are becoming advocates who will educate others through their digital presentations and hands-on approach. A few groups will invite guest speakers to share more about their issues.

Here’s a review of project groups, but stay tuned because more information and pictures from their presentation are coming.

Presentations are May 9 and 10, so come back and checkout this blog on May 10.
