Dear Readers:

I had mentioned earlier that our third and eighth graders were working on African American Heroes so I thought I would share a few of the links from the project.

Our thoughts and prayers are with our Knight Teresa Alesch. Please take time to Think Pink and send support to all those in need. The Middle School Knights are proud of Mrs. Alesch.

Khan Academy

Dear Readers:

I have forgot to let you know about a great resource for learning material. The Khan Academy is a selection of free videos that explain multiple topics in education. I would suggest bookmarking the site. This is a great site for homework help and also a refresher for things forgotten.

Dear Readers:

Our third and eighth graders are working on a class project together. The third graders have written reports about famous African Americans and the eighth graders are going to help turn those reports into websites. We also have the fifth graders working with the fourth graders in completing webquests; which the fifth graders have become quite proficient. I am starting to see the amazing things that we can do with technology coming to the forefront. These projects are examples of the Iowa Core Curriculum at work. The engagement we have seen with students and these types of activities is astounding. I will look forward to actually posting links to the third and eighth grade project for your use. Have a great day and more to come especially with the budget outlook for Iowa.
