Check out the Community School Computer Lab Zoo!

This week middle elementary and upper elementary students read "If I Ran the Zoo" on the iPad and drew their own zoo animal (real, imagined, or somewhere inbetween) for display as our computer lab artwork for Spring! Check it out!

Lower Elementary Tech Update

Today Lower Elementary Students (Beth's class) enjoyed musical Seussical activities in honor of both Read Across America month and Music in our Schools month!  On the computer, we explored the game "Horton Hears a Tune" on Seussville.com.  On the iPad, students tried the Seuss Band app, playing along with songs and making their own tunes.

Middle School Film Festival Rescheduled

The Middle Schoolers have been hard at work on their film projects.  As with many movie projects, we are a bit off schedule, and have pushed back our film festival date.  We will have our in-school film sharing activity for all middle school students on April 12, from 9-10 AM.
