Summer School-Knowledge Infusions

Well we have just finished Week Two of summer school so I thought it might be time to post a few pictures.  We have had quite a bit of fun actually.  For one thing every one has enjoyed the opportunity to use the six ipads that I was able to borrow from Media Services from the school board. 
One favorite activity has been Brain Pop.  Each day there is a new video that teaches you something you something you probably didn't know and then there is a quiz to take to see how well you remembered what you learned.  There is actually a computer website as well.  Here is the link -just hit the brain pop picture. 

We have also been quite productive.  Everyone did projects on one of the artists in the Group of Seven.  Yesterday we showed them to UBC student teachers and students in Ms. Klassen's class and today with students in two other classes.  People have put together some really great glogsters, prezis, and power points.

We have also have been doing lots of math, reading, and a novel unit on the novel, Call it Courage.  We have also done creative writing and work on vocabulary and reading strategies.  It's been busy, but I think everyone actually has been having a good time.
