First Grade Newsletter Audocity media type="file" key="Courtney Smart.mp3" width="240" height="20" Courtney, I think this podcast was really great! What a cute idea!! I really like how you went back through and read it again to analyze what money the boy was trading for. I think it was really great that you used a poem to teach a little lesson about money. This podcast is educationally sound; I think the students will learn a lot from it. I don't think there's anything you could do to improve this! Good job ~Sydney Reck

I really liked your podcast. It was a good way to teach a lesson about money through a poem. It was cool how you added the music in as well. I think the kids would learn a lot from it and would really enjoy it. Good job! - Kim Nordtveit

[|Google Site] [|Blog] [|Picasa Project] [|Voicethread] Review for Movie: I really like the use of quotes in the movie! The transitions were great and I like the pictures you chose! I would suggest making the movie more appealing by using different fonts and colors for the quotes! Overall, great job!~Sydney Reck

Review for Powerpoint:

**Content**
The content is educational and informational. I think the young kids will find this fun to do! I think that it is a good example of how you would use a powerpoint in the classroom but I think the lesson itself is a little too quick for that young of children. However, the instructions are very easy to follow.

**Visuals**
The pictures and audio are perfect for the grade level. The pictures are appealing and eye catching. I like how you used a little pig to navigate through the slides.

**Format**
It is saved as a powerpoint show and all of the buttons and links work! __Overall, you did a really great job and I think you will be able to use this in the classroom!!__ -Sydney Reck

The content was great! I love how you incorporated the information on the coins. A lot of time that is left out and not taught, but this was a great way to incorporated that basic knowledge! Also, you had great scenarios and having Hamm the pig talk to the children was perfect, they love things like that!
 * Content:**

It was eye catching and appealing. Definitely age appropriate and the sounds for the wrong answer of tires breaking (slow down) was perfect!
 * Visuals:**

It is saved properly and all of the hyperlinks work! //Loved your power-point, as a fello//
 * Format:**

w early childhood education major, things like this get me excited. I could see my kids doing this and loving it! You did a wonderful job! :) -Kristen Mason

**Content**:
The content was appropriate for the first grade level. I like how you had a character (Hamm) for the students! I think they will really enjoy that!

Images were appropriate and creative.The audio was very fitting as well.
 * Visuals**:

Everything worked perfectly.
 * Format**:

I really think the kids would like it if you used this in your classroom. Good job - Kim Nordtveit

[|Here Comes Bad Weather WebQuest]

**Content:**
=== **Your task is clearly defined! I really like your idea, I think it is definitely a useful project. Students would really benefit from it. I think the process is clear and easy to follow and appropriate for third grade. Since the children have to research and find information, they are discovering and creating their own learning experiences, which is awesome! I think your rubric is clearly defined and fair. I also believe that it is a logical rubric for third grade.** ===

**Format:**
=== **I think your webquest is structured well and the links that you provided worked when copied and pasted. Also, you clearly gave credit to all of the resources you used (which were also valid). Great job! I really think this is something that would be beneficial to students and I would love to see this actually take place! :)** ===

Content: Each section was detailed and clearly defined of what the students were expected to do. I think it is a great research project to use at the third grade level. Visual: I'm not sure if you had pictures or not. If so they didn't show up on my computer Format: Your webquest was neatly organized and any work you borrowed was properly cited. Really good job on making this webquest I can defiantly see you being able to use this in the future! - Kim Nordtveit
