Both were neat projects, and included some higher level technology integration. All of the students' QR code flyers are hanging near the entrance to the SMS Media Center.
The students have just completed a QR code project that allows anyone to simply scan the QR code on their created flyer for direct access to their book trailer. The book trailers were made a week earlier, and they are basically a commercial for a book they've read this year.

On Halloween, our Math class used Smarties to assist us with some graphing and landmarks review. Each student visited Hendrickson's Holiday Store to receive two packs of Smarties and an activity sheet. From there, they had to use the colors and numbers from their packs of Smarties to make two graphs and find all important landmarks (mean, mode, median, range, etc.). Here are two photos, one of the students visiting Hendrickson's Holiday Store and the other of Taylor H. starting her bar graph after collecting her Smartie data. The annual SMS Food Drive was taken to new heights this year. Make sure you check out our SMS Food Drive page for a head shaving video and tons of other goodies.

To support this, we created Saline advertisements in Social Studies. Below are some samples. After a month of inside and outside Geography challenges, Alex D. (left) and Max B. (right) have won the right to be called Mapdemoneum Champions. Every year, Mr. Foster holds a big challenge during the first unit of 6th Grade Social Studies called Mapdemoneum. The students are fighting for VIP seating while on the Toronto Trip, a pizza lunch, and the selection of one movie while on the Toronto Trip. It's big stuff, and the students fight hard. Congrats to these two boys, and check out our Social Studies page for further Mapdemoneum information. |
