Our Classroom Podcast

We just had Open House on April 28, 2009. As part of what we did to show what we are learning in first grade, we recorded our first podcast episode using PhotoStory, which covers what we did at the Los Angeles Zoo. We hope you subscribe to our podcast to find out more about Room C here at Delevan Drive Elementary School. Everything we record will be posted on podOmatic and can be visited at http://jamr.podomatic.com.

We would like to thank California Technology Assistance Project Region 11 for showing our teacher how to help us create a classroom podcast.

Back from Winter Break - Boomer is Still Here!

We finally returned from a long Winter break. It was reassuring to find that Boomer, our dog, was still around. This was unlike the time in September when he decided to have a "day out" wandering around the school. Based on a book, Boomer Goes to School by Constance W. McGeorge, our adventure was well documented with pictures of our search for Boomer. We used Microsoft Photostory to help us create this synopsis of our day looking for the dog. Of course, we were also learning to spell. Can you find the misspelled word in our story?

During Back to School Night in October, our parents were able to hear our voices and see pictures of our expedition as we learned to describe the experience. We now know how to tell our story orally from creating presentations like this one. And now we wanted to share it here as we continue to show what is happening in our classroom.
