An Original Coding Storyboard----Look Where Our Teamwork Can Take Us.......

The 5th Grade ELP have been working on coding and creating original scripts/storyboards/games at www.code.org.  Below is a link created by Brody Lager, Miss Larson's 5th Grade class, about the importance of teamwork.  He took our character education and Family Group lesson on teamwork to design a "video game" themed storyboard.

The 20th Century Learner in me isn't quite sure how to activate the link within this blog.....so, please copy and paste the link in to your web browser and ENJOY!  I love the amount of learning/collaboration and problem solving I witness in this group of scholars.  I also, LOVE, the amount of learning they share with me, so I can become a more 21st century thinker too : )

Brody, in the yellow, was the creator and navigator for the visual script created.  He collaborated with Dane Janssen, Ben Hansen and Vincent Larson on character emotions and dialogue.  

TEAM--Together, Everyone Achieves More!

Welcome to ELP

Welcome to the  ELP (Extended Learning Program) at the Mo. Valley Community Schools.  I am excited to be delving into the learning behind ELP and helping students to grow as learners, readers, problem solvers and citizens. As part of the ELP learning this school year, students will be creating/editing and posting information for the blog.  We will work on updating the blog in small groups and individually.  Our goal is to update the blog at least 2X's a month.  Hopefully, with the students' guidance, we will be able to update more frequently about ELP happenings, lessons and objectives. Our first ELP undertaking will be a project revolving around the Olympics.  Students will be researching the Ancient Olympics and Modern-day Olympics.  We will be utilizing both on-line resources and teacher supplied materials.  Students will be expected to be able to compare and contrast Ancient and Modern-day Olympics.  We will work individually and in s...

The Ancient Olympics and Modern-Day Olympics

I'm not sure about you, but the London Summer Olympics 2012 captivated my attention and the attention of the oldest 2 daughters in our household.  While preparing for the school year, I kept coming back to the topic of The Olympics........ For the past 2 weeks, the ELP students have been focusing on learning about the Ancient Olympic games, held for over 2,000 years in Olympia, Greece.  We have also studied the re-birth of the Olympics in modern times, beginning in 1896.   The 3rd grade students have been practicing a Reader's Theater about Jesse Owens and the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Germany.  In partners, they have created a story map retelling the story of Jesse Owen's Olympic feats.  They will be sharing the Reader's Theater with the other 3rd grade classrooms. The 4th grade ELP students have read non-fiction texts comparing the Ancient Greek games with Modern events in the Olympic Games.  As a culminating activity they have worked on Ki...

Mock Election 2012

The 5th-7th Grade ELP students will be participating in the National Student Mock Election, hosted by the Pearson Foundation.  Students will be delving into how our democratic government came to be, why there are 2 "major" political platforms.....in the days of George Washington there was only 1 political party, and then "casting their votes". The objectives of the activities are to increase student understanding of how the election process works, why voting is key to the success of our political system and to guide them in looking for pros/cons to campaigns and campaign strategies. For additional information, please visit:   http://www.nationalmockelection.org I'm looking forward to integrating political science, social studies and language arts with this series of lessons. Please contact me if there are questions or suggestions.  As always, thanks for the on-going support and cooperation. Mrs. C.
