Hart Kindergartners Record Reading to Classroom i-pods PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 27 April 2010 16:15

imageEach kindergarten classroom at Hart Elementary has added i-pods to their Listening Center.  Not only can the kids listen to a book by an author, but they also have fun listening to themselves read books as well!  The kindergartners practice their level books all week and then record themselves reading a book to the i-pod.  Two skills that they work on all year are to read with fluency and expression.  The i-pods have become a great tool to improve both of these skills because the students are able to hear what their reading sounds like.  Another way that we use the i-pods is to record a Reader's Theater performance.  A Reader's Theater is a script written from a children's book that is familiar to the class.  The class practices the script and then records the Reader's Theater to the i-pod.  They love to listen to each other say their lines!

Lovejoy High School’s principal Mike Goddard arrived in Haiti Sunday morning April 25th to deliver to orphanages some of the food that was packaged by the high schoolers during the Big Event on Friday, April 23rd.  Utilizing 30-minute shifts during the Big Event, all members of the high school student body and teachers took their turn in assisting the packaging of over 115,000 meals!  A portion of these meals will stay in our local community, benefiting Allen Community Outreach, the Samaritan Inn, and the Allen Food Pantry.  The entire student body focused on the Graduate Profile, including “Working for Justice in the Community.” Stations were set up throughout the high school where the students talked about what it would be like to have to go “a day without shoes,” saw a Senior Project presentation on Three Cups of Tea’s gender equality issue, wrote letters to USA soldiers, made coloring books for orphans in Haiti and patients at Scottish Rite Hospital, and wrote cards of encouragement—in French!—to orphans in Haiti.  Way to go, Lovejoy high schoolers!!

Puster Chicks Arrive PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 26 April 2010 15:59

Tuesday, April 20th, brought much excitement to one first grade classroom at Puster Elementary. After 21 days of anticipation, the first “peep, peep” was heard coming from the classroom incubator! For 21 days, the children had been learning about chickens.

They learned that only eggs that have part of the hen and the rooster will have a chick inside. Erika explains “the ones at the store were from a farm without a rooster to fertilize them.”

Every few days, we “candled” the eggs, shining a bright light into the egg to watch the development of the eggs. At first, we just saw a dark spot which grew in size over the days. Towards the 21st day, we could see the chicken’s feet pressed against the egg.

On the 21st day, after much peeping, our first chicken sprang from his egg, wet and tired. The children could see the egg tooth the chick used to free himself from the egg. They watched as he stumbled around, trying out his legs for the first time. What an amazing experience for these learners (and their teachers!).
