The second graders in Angela Regan’s classroom enjoyed hearing a read aloud of Roald Dahl’s The Witches. Taking what they learned about witches in the story, the students created pictures in KidPix, uploaded them to Animoto, and wrote a fact. As a class, they decided on the music to accompany the movie. A great project!

With the stress of many weeks of testing, a little fun is often needed. Taylor Swift’s song Shake it Off seemed to be a fabulous way to relieve some of the stress. The whole school participated in the project and Friday, May 15th – our last day of testing – the school assembled in the gym to watch the production. It was a big hit!

Inspired by TED Talks, Bill Stewart’s fifth graders presented their endangered species research findings by creating video talks about their animal.
