It feels like I have not blogged in a long time. So now I am back with so much to share about the start to a new year.
We started off the new year with building our classroom community and getting to know each other. In order for students to introduce themselves in a different way, they completed two different task.
The first is one of my favorites- The Six Word Memoir- students needed to describe themselves in six words. This task was all about the power of words- or like what I like to call “Word Consciousness”.
The second task introduced students to Animoto- a web based video creation program. In order to get students acquainted with the program, students created videos about themselves. Some examples follow-
I look forward to sharing so much more about our learning community!
Once again we have begun to Make Waves in Sixth Grade!
