A first grader at Elm Grove uses the Smart Board in the Library

A Smart Board was recently mounted in the Elm Grove library.  Librarian Mark Weems and Library Tech Karan Ratliff have been using the interactive white board with their classes and the kids couldn’t be more excited to jump up and participate in the lesson.  The photo above was captured during a first grade lesson in which the kids were asked to help “dress the naked mole rat”.  The game is based on a character in Mo Willems book, “Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed”.

The gingerbread men in the kindergarten classes at Tobias Elementary went missing on Friday September18th when they ran around the school without permission. Students and their teachers searched high and low at Tobias Elemeantry and met many of the people in their school community like the Librarian, Nurse, Instructional Technologist, Principals and Office Helpers. The Instructional Technologist, Jill Williams on the spot shared with the kindergarten teachers an interactive website for their students to use to practice mouse skills and make connections to the activities they participated in that day. Classes used the interactive site in a variety of ways including: Airliner Slate in the classroom, in the Computer Lab and on the SmartBoard.
