Outside My Classroom Windows













What's outside our classroom windows?
 Click to view a 3D scene of what we see outside our classroom windows...
Move around and zoom in to check out the smallest details! 



"Outside My Classroom Windows" is a project that tells a lot about where people live. We looked outside of the classroom windows for five minutes and drew what we saw.
Friends from different countries are going to join in and then we'll compare and contrast the things we see!

Becoming a "Smithsonian Classroom"

We have earned Smithsonian Stars by joining in a fun activity. Each time we earn a Smithsonian Star, we are learning about the world in exciting ways.

"Ni Hao" To Our Aussie Friends




We have watched the first video from our friends at Laurimar Primary School, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Southern Hemisphere, which is a response to our introduction video.



We were so excited to see our new friends for the first time. Here is our video showing our response. 

We've tried to say, "Hello, my name is ___. " in Chinese and we hope you'll learn how to say that in Arabic. 
Thank you so much!

Using Mouse Mischief


Mouse Mischief from ‘’Microsoft Corporation” integrates into Microsoft PowerPoint letting teachers insert questions and drawing activity slides into their lessons.
Students can actively participate in these lessons by using their own wireless mice to click, circle, cross out, or draw answers on the screen.
Mouse Mischief can transform teaching and learning in the classroom allowing teachers to create interactive presentations that engage and excite every student in the classroom.  
Grade 6 students at KSPS experienced using this technique on Saturday. This technique sparked students’ curiosity by incorporating interactive technology in the curriculum. Students had fun learning while seeing visual representation of their answers on the white board while using colorful mouse pointers (like a robot, snowflake, guitar...).
 I immediately saw my students’ answers on the screen. This allowed me to have better visibility into the progress and comprehension of the entire class so I can adjust the lesson explained on the spot and give my feedback.

Mom's Special Day



  making Mother's Day cards and....singing

a poem to my mom



"I Think my MOM is Amazing!"
 we couldn't hold our tears back when we watched the video for the first time
Thank you, God, for our caring and loving mothers
 and  for the precious love of the mothers you have given us!




Nobody knows of the work it makes 

To keep the home together, 

Nobody knows of the steps it takes, 

Nobody knows -- but Mother."


HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

The Interaction of Living Things

reusing 

connecting

the removal of any object will affect the web


We, first graders, reused items to demonstrate the interdependency of living things and became "young scientists" seeking to understand how living things live together. We connected these items to show how they interact. Then when covering one item, we noticed how everything in the natural world is connected and the removal of any object will certainly affect the web and cause many problems to the environment.
