Jennifer Thompson's 1st graders recently created book reviews using iPads.

To do this, the students chose a book and paired up with a second grader to read the book. Then, they wrote the important events using an organizer. Next, they drew the illustrations on the iPad using the app Educreations. Last, they recorded their book reviews. This was a fantastic activity that allowed them to have a finished product that they could share with their families through email.

Here is a review done by first grader Kate Bidwell.

 Superintendent Dr. Randy Greene makes his way to first base after losing his shoe as Clark Elementary Principal Steve Ybarzabal calls him safe at the Clark First Friday Faculty vs. Students kickball game on April 14. The kickball game was a reward for Clark students as they prepare for testing. Students participated as cheerleaders, players, umpires and coaches while playing against the faculty. You can see pictures from the kickball game on Smugmug here.
