End of Year Happenings
Maercker 60
A group of Westview’s 6th grade students from Mrs.
Siler’s E Period partnered with EL students from Ms.
Savic’s class at Holmes to help them meet
expectations from the Common Core Learning
Standards.
The 6th grade students recorded books using the
Shadow Puppet App, and then posted them to the
EL’s Edmodo group so they could research American
Contributors in order to write individual informational
pieces. Students worked together to summarize and
paraphrase what they learned, as well as identify
different parts of speech in their own writing.
This is just one example of how technology facilitates
collaboration between classrooms and schools, and
creates authentic audiences for children’s learning.
