As you complete your iMovie you will export it and share it with me. I will show you how to do that. When both classes have completed the project, we will have a special day of sharing your work. You are doing a great job!
When done, please go to... https://www.typingtest.com/ and take the 1 minute test after changing medium text to easy text. When you feel that you have done the best you can, please show one of your teachers your score. You are NOT COMPETING, just doing the best job you can. After, you may go to the Typing Games found on this website.

Today we will begin our Poetry Project using the Green Screen. Students will first be introduced to the parts they will be playing on each team of 3 students. The first student will be the "Director" and video tape the segment. Student 2 will hold the cue card/teleprompter (vocabulary to be discussed), while Student 3 will stand in front of the Green Screen and recite their poem. Students will each have an opportunity to "play" each role. When you are done, you will go back to the class and the next three students will come down to the STEAM Lab. Once all students have recorded their poems (you will then sign into a Shared Drive folder) and we will begin the editing process over the next couple of weeks. This is a great project that I believe you are really going to like creating!

Happy New Year to Everyone! I hope you had a safe and wonderful Holiday Break. Now we are ready to get back to work in the STEAM Lab with so many exciting projects coming your way. First, as a class, we will explore the differences between Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) and how they exist in today's world. We will discuss what the future holds for both of these processes, before watching a short video that explains the differences AR and VR. Then you will explore what Virtual Reality (VR) is and experience it yourselves via the following videos- Skydiving, African Elephant Tour, Grand Canyon from Space, Journey into the Deep Sea, Superman Roller Coaster, etc. Have fun and enjoy the ride!

Vocabulary to be reviewed includes: algorithm, blocks, bug, debug, sequencing and computer programmer. Then, as a group, we will go over the following blocks in Scratch- Events, Motion, Control, Variable and Sensing. I will demonstrate the blocks needed to create a pong game. Finally, students will be given instructions on how to create a "Pong" game. You can try to do it on your own, or if it is too difficult you can follow the instruction sheet and choose an original sprite and background.

Week of October 17-21, 2022
This week we are going to continue our unit on Internet Safety. Today we are going to talk about "CyberBullying" and what to do if it happens to you or someone you know.
We will spend the first part of the period talking about how to recognize CyberBullying, see a very short video and discuss the differences between being an upstander and a bystander. By the end of our talk, you should be able to define what is meant by CyberBullying and what it means to be a good digital citizen.

After, you will sign on to my Pixton account using the link I sent you in your email. First, you will create your Avatar and we will produce a class picture. Then you will begin working on a digital comic strip titling it Stop CyberBullying. This project will be completed next week and we will share them with the class.

This week we are going to begin a unit on Internet Safety. As 5th graders, you are on the ChromeBooks all of the time and I just want you to what to look out for!
First, we are going to learn about Privacy and Security. What is clickbait? How does it effect you? What's the curiosity gap? What do these two things have to do with Internet Safety?
Remember, using the ChromeBooks are a privilege and you need to know what to do and what not to do to stay safe!
