Cycle 14

Martin Luther King Jr., Calendars, Snow Flakes and Reading Eggs

Full Day Kindergarten--the students will be reviewing the days of the week as we build a calendar for the month of January using the calendar maker.  We will add the special days in January to the calendar and then continue with reading eggs.  During this cycle, Mr. Willson will be visiting the FDK classroom and showing the students how to use Reading Eggs on the classroom netbooks.

Second Grade--the second graders will begin their two cycle study of Martin Luther King Jr.  They will watch a BrainPop Jr. video about Martin Luther King Jr.'s life.  The students will then use Pixie to create a book called Martin Luther King, Jr. and Me.  In this book, the students will be comparing their life to Martin Luther King Jr.  When the book is completed, the students will be turning their books into narrated movies.

First Grade--the first graders will be reviewing the days of the week and how to read a calendar as we build a calendar for the month of January.  The students will then use the computer to create a snowflake as they look forward to more snow this winter season.
