Prior to spring break, 3rd grade students created a PicCollage project to demonstrate their knowledge of the app itself and to share information regarding a multi-week science unit covered in the library. During this particular unit, students gained information through books and videos about how environmental issues impact specific ecosystems and the animals that live there. Students came to realize through this unit that issues like deforestation and global warming have substantially altered the rainforest and tundra ecosystems (respectively), which, in turn, has created negative effects on the animals that live there. Through the use of a comparison matrix, students were able to evaluate how these issues and their impact were similar and different. Their matrix then served as their source of information shared in their PicCollage. Students also practiced citing pictures they found online within their project. Be sure to take a look by following the link below.

Through their Reading Street curriculum, students have been practicing to identify the characters and setting of a story this semester. This mini-project provided the opportunity to carry these skills into our library time and practice additional Speaking & Listening standards as well. In pairs or teams of three, Kinders selected two characters and one setting from the available choices within the app and then "presented" their selections through a recording. Follow the link below to view our first Kinder recordings in the library!
