The Genre Song
Jun 6th
Don’t you know that it’s all about the genres? The Techie Kids do. Here’s a project that we started back during “March Is Reading Month.” After seeing what Amy Burvall creates for her high school History students, Mrs. Moore was inspired to try a small scale version with our elementary classes. We hope you are inspired to try something new too!

Tell us about your favorite genre and a few books to go along with it.
Can you share an elementary topic that we could make another music video for?
The Plant Song
May 1st
Another one of our special projects over the past 2 months has been writing songs to familiar tunes. We were inspired by Mrs. McKenzie’s B4 Class when they posted songs to help them with their Daily 5 program. Check for Understanding, The Cross-Checking Song, and Back Up and Re-Read It. Click on each title to hear their songs.
Our goal is to put lessons we are learning in class to music. Many of us found out that music can help us remember important words or ideas. The second grade Techie Kids learned about the parts of plants and how they grow. We wrote the words that were most important and set them to music. We hope you enjoy listening and learning with us!

Here are the lyrics we sang:

Why I Love My Country…
Apr 8th
The Techie Kids have really enjoyed being Quad Blog Buddies with Mrs. Webb-Scheers and The Classroom Connection, Ms. Vivian and the Year 3 Superstars, and Mrs. Kistler and the 49’ers. We have learned so much from each other! Since we are all in three different countries, I thought we could take a moment to share just what makes our country so special. Please add a sticky note to your country’s bulletin board. If you are sharing a fact you learned about a buddy’s country, share it on their board. Here are some ideas…
What do you love about your country?
Why are you happy to live there?
What is something important that you think others should know about your country?
What have you learned about our Quad Blog Buddies’ countries?
