Skype with Erica Perl!
Fourth grade book club had a fun Skype visit with Erica Perl, author of
When Life Give You O.J.. She told us about her inspiration for the book and for many of the book’s characters, including the crazy grandpa, Ace. Davis said, “The Skype with Erica Perl was exciting to look forward to and exhilarating to do.” Hannah remakred, “The Skype visit was inspiring!” Students shared their creative Chatterpix creations with Ms. Perl. Chatterpix is an app which allows you to draw a mouth on a photograph and then record audio.
Kindergarten Research on Ocean Animals
Frequently we read nonfiction during K library time. In December we read nonfiction books about sea animals and went on Reading Rainbow adventures with Levar Burton to see whales breach and sea turtles lay eggs! Next, we painted the glass wall in the library with ocean characters and added our facts for everyone to enjoy.
