Mr. Haney's Rocking Rams Keeping up with the students in B124! 

On their first day of holiday vacation, some of the students used their time to give back to the community. We started the day at Mr. Gatti’s for lunch. After lunch, we went to the mall to watch the new Narnia movie, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Finally, we headed towards Volunteer Ministry where the students passed out gloves, scarves, hats, and Christmas cards made by our K-Kids club. I was very proud of the students who used their day off to help the less fortunate.

Inspired by the new iPad commercials, the students remade the commercials to feature their novel study for their semester projects. They used an app called flipbook (has a free lite version) to create the images, the flip video cameras to record, and iMovie to create.

Mind mapping and The Grinch go together like pine trees and glass ornaments. The students worked with our “tech buddies” from Mr. Murray 2nd grade class on main ideas on Thursday. The students read the interactive book app The Grinch and used an app, Idea Sketch, to show the main idea of the story. The students had to read the story, write the main idea in the middle shape, and connect detail shapes to the main idea. Students who finished early started characteristic maps of the Grinch. One of the highlights of being a teacher is watching your students teach other students.
