Below is the schedule for our Living Biography Presentations, which are scheduled for next week Wednesday (1/23/19), Thursday (1/24/19) and Friday (1/25/19). Presentations will last 10 minutes and run between 12:25-1:55. Final copies of student reports are due Tuesday, January 22, 2019 (students have the four-day weekend to complete final copies). We will be practicing our presentations next week Tuesday, but you can also help prepare your child for their presentation by practicing with them at home. Remember, we are asking that students dress up as the person they are studying, so please make sure your child has clothing and/or props to help them look the part. Looking forward to all of the great presentations! Please let me know if you have any questions.

As the students continue their Living Biography research at home and begin their Country report research in the classroom, Mrs. Miesfeld, our school librarian taught the students this week how to research and cite sources when getting information from somewhere else. She introduced the students to several online resources that can be used at home as students research their person for their Living Biography. Below is the log in information for three sources that were shared with the students. Thank you for supporting your child in their research at home.
For all resources, start at the Jackson Homepage--> Academics--> Web Resources. The resources can be accessed from any device that can connect to the internet: 1) Britannica School Elementary
Happy Researching!! As a part of our study of Plant Structure and Function, Scientists in Room #209 took a virtual field trip today to learn more about pollination. We learned more about what pollination is, the parts of the plant that help with pollination, and the types of insects and animals that assist in the pollination of our plants. One of the craziest facts the students were amazed by was that if all of the bees were killed today, we would only have four years left to live! The students really enjoyed this fun experience and can't wait until we go on another virtual field trip (some would like to do it every day!)
*The virtual field trip was made possible by a grant funded through the SASD Technology department and written by Jackson staff. Through the grant, Jackson was able to purchase a cart of 30 virtual reality viewers, plus additional software* |
