Today our 2nd graders learned all about black bear habitats in Sleeping Bear Dunes through a virtual field trip. They video conferenced with a park ranger for a fun and interactive program!
Each month, we will feature one teacher from Glen Lake Community Schools who is providing innovating learning experiences for their students. The March teacher spotlight is Anna Wassa! She currently teaches Language Arts in the high school and her classes include English 9, English 11, Honors English 9, AP Language and Composition and Poetry. The innovative project we will be highlighting is from her 11th grade students. These students are studying the epic poem Beowulf. They were tasked with demonstrating in-depth inferences and thorough, thoughtful analysis of the themes occurring in different, specific sections of the text, through a creative video composition. Through their videos, students are able to bring life to their analysis with rich imagery and narration. The student videos will be viewed and discussed in class to further discover the overarching themes that flow through the text for a broader analysis of the entire poem.

In our Advanced Chemistry lab, students were given a bottle of acid with an unknown concentration. The students used their titration skills to neutralize the acid. They titrated to an exact endpoint, using a digital pH meter probe and Sparkvue software on the their school laptops! d
What's more fun than animals dressed up and speaking Spanish? Señora Pina's 4th, 5th and 6th grade elementary Spanish students were able to do just this! These students were learning the first person tenses of the Spanish verbs "to be" and "to have". To practice their new learning, the students were able to pick an animal that they wanted to be. They found images of their chosen animal online, saved them to their iPads and imported the images into the app "Chatterpix". This fun app allows students to add their own voice recording to any image to make it "talk". The students spoke as if they were the animal to describe their characteristics in the first person. Check out the video below for a sampling of these projects. Buen trabajo estudiantes de español!
