Looking for a new way to create a presentation? Look no further than Glogster.edu! A glog is basically an interactive bulletin board on which students can create a presentation. They can add text boxes, images, clip art, maps and backgrounds to show what they have learned while doing research. Lovejoy fourth graders have recently completed a research unit on Texas Indians. After researching online and in books, they created glogs on specific tribes that lived in Texas. They did an amazing job researching, learning and then sharing the information with others.

Lovejoy Elementary students are getting into character as they finished up their study of the American Revolution.  On Dec 3rd, the McKinney Chapter Sons of the American Revolution came to Lovejoy in authentic colonial costumes, featuring various militia and Army clothing.  In addition to these amazing costumes, students were able to examine actual artifacts used during the war, view many reproduction military flags and their symbolic meanings, as well as learn about the role these different militia would have played in the war effort.  Lovejoy wants to send out a special thank you to the Sons of the American Revolution for bringing history to life for our students!!
