Insect Mania!

1st graders have been busy studying insects! I have really enjoyed working with Mrs. Goff, Ms. Roger, and Ms. Foote's classes on special projects related to insects in the Media Center. Please enjoy our work below and make sure your sound is turned on!

Insect Poetry from Mrs. Goff's class:

The students created their artwork and poems in class and then each student worked with me to record their poetry. We used Microsoft's Photostory to make the presentation. We have such talented artists and poets at Club Boulevard!



Insect Slideshow with Ms. Foote's class:

The students in this group learned how organize their information before creating the slideshow on Animoto. We discovered that planning a slideshow on the computer is a lot of work but we had fun learning together!



Insect Research with Ms. Roger's class:

Every day this week a small group from Ms. Roger's class came to the Media Center to learn about a different insect. We discovered that all the insect books can be found on the same shelf! We read the books together, looked at pictures on the computer, and had to find out what our insect eats, where it lives, and our favorite facts. We really enjoyed learning about stink bugs, fireflies, goliath beetles, ants, and dragonflies.
