Another Monday

I finished grading the 5th graders' explorer projects. They did a really good job on their posters and presentations, but struggled with the bibliography. Maybe easybib.com will help with that problem.

The 3rd grade has been working on a project about the local community for several weeks. Today we used Movie Maker to begin our final presentations. The project is called the 8 Wonders of LaCygne--patterned after the 8 Wonders of Kansas. The students interviewed several people from the community in regard to the art, architecture, commerce, cuisine, customs, geography, history, and people of the area. If I can ever get all the bugs worked out of things, maybe they can get their presentations done! Anybody know anything about converting video from a Flipcam so it can be imported into Movie Maker?

At LaCygne, we are in the middle of our Book Fair. Lots of neat titles to choose from. I got copies of 3 books about the library. One is called Library Lion. I read it to the kindergarten class and had them predict what was going to happen. They really enjoyed it and I highly recommend it!
