The students in Mrs. Siffermann's class read the book The Witches by Roald Dahl. The students then wrote book reviews in class. On Halloween, they were able to use a green screen to record their book reviews so that they looked like they were inside a spooky bottle. These videos were then app smashed into Seesaw to share their families and teachers. Our other third grade classes will be able to create green screen videos later this school year. Keep an eye out for them.

Happy Digital Citizenship Week! The students had their first of three digital citizenship lesson of the year. In this lesson, they learned about thinking beyond themselves and the ripple effect they can have. Students began by talking about the responsibilities they had at home and then expanded to their community and the world. Students completed several activities where they had to think about how what they did online could affect themselves, their community or their world. For more tips on helping kids balance media in their lives, see the attachment below.
Over the summer, Seesaw made a few updates that the students seem to be loving. The drawing tools have changed a little bit, giving them even more options. Two other new features are the new collage tool where students can take multiple pictures and add them to one page as well as a multipage feature so students are not limited to one page responses. For some of the students, this did not as expected but they were patient and helped us work on the problem. If parents are not connected to their child's journal, information on how to connect will be sent home. Last week, the students practiced logging into their online accounts for math and reading. On my helpful links page, you will find videos on the features of those websites. An email will be going home later this week that contains information for how to access the sites at home as well.
