Chemisty Comics...



Who would have thought that Chemistry and Comics are a good mix. In Mrs. Johnston's chemistry class the students were exploring some chemistry concepts with a program called Comic Life. Check out Megan W. and Erica M. showing off their talents.

Using Mind Mapping Software







One of the new pieces of software that Girard has embraced is Inspiration. It is a great program that allows students to create concept maps with pictures and graphics. Students in Ms. Holliday's English are using them to map out stories and characters....take a look at one done in 9th grade by Allie M, Ty T and Carliegh B.

Elementary Students get interactive



In Elk Valley Elementary School this year 5 interactive white boards were purchased to bring interactive learning to a whole new level. Boards are rotated between teachers who produce lessons surrounding the board. Here you can see Mrs. Wiser's 4th grade class doing their morning warm up activity! Mrs. Wiser agrees that students are much more attentive and interested when they can interact with the board.
