4th grade students participated in the Hour of Code and learned some basic coding from code.org! This week we will continue exploring this wonderful website with some other activities.

5th grade students had a Nearpod lesson on Website evaluation and learned about 8 things to look for when evaluating a website to make sure it is a reliable source. Next week we will apply these tools and determine which websites are fake and real from a list provided.

What's New In the IMC?

Welcome Back from Spring Break! Hope everyone had a wonderful time!

This week our 3rd graders will continue with our text features unit. We will finish up by learning about diagrams and captions.

4th graders will learn about Novelist. We will learn how this is a great resource for reader's advisory. We also will take a look at the new list of the 2017 list of Caudills and Bluestems!

5th graders will be reminded how to use Novelist and be given time to explore this reader's advisory source and hopefully find their next book they'll want to read. We will also look at the Bluestem and Caudill list for 2017.
