Personal Narratives

 Mrs. Ford's Second Grade Class has been working on writing personal narratives. These amazing stories included drawings to show the cover, the beginning, the middle, and the ending. Our next step was to use the app Explain Everything to record the story.

Animated Valentines ❤️

 It has been a week of many Valentine-themed activities.

One of these has been creating animated Valentine cards.

Students first created their images in Google Slides and then duplicated each slide and made one small change as they created each new slide. This process was continued until the final image was created. Then using the site Tall Tweets the Google Slides were turned into a GIF ready to copy and share.

Here is my card for everyone.


Mrs. Gibbas's Class created messages for their JDO friends in Northern Island.

 Thank you Ms. Duchak for helping students create the beautiful watercolor and glitter paintings.

Happy 2022 Reflections! 🎉

 New Year Reflections are a fun part of January.

Students used a template as a way to reflect on themself as we enter a new year. 

We even embedded new tech skills as we completed this Google Slide assignment. Can you insert a selfie in a document? Do you know the shortcuts for copy and paste? Can you crop an image into a new shape? Where are emojis found?

Take a peek at the completed projects below.
