It's A Mystery

There have been a lot of unsolved crimes happening at Proctor School recently but students in Mrs. Boucher's Class have used their problem solving strategies and worked to help find the solution. After reading books from the Mystery genre, students worked together to write, edit, and record their own stories.  Enjoy their Mysteries!  Can you predict the solution before the end?

Author Study Margaret Peterson Haddix

Grade Six students have recently completed an author study reading many of the books written by Margaret Peterson Haddix.  Using the app iMovie, small groups of students created a Book Trailer. Click on the link under each title.  Be careful you will be enticed to check a new book out of the library.

A New Home For a Hermit Crab

Kindergarten students in Mrs. Inconiglios's class have created their own version of A Home for a Hermit Crab.  Students constructed 3D sea creatures, built an underwater background scene, and worked together to rewrite the story.

Using the app Explain Everything we then put everything together for A New Home for a Hermit Crab.
