Hi! I wanted to thank you all for an amazing teacher appreciation week. I have felt appreciated by the kids, and without them I wouldn’t even be where I am. Thank you for the gifts, notes, and most of all smiling faces. I call my students, “my kids” and have at times had to clarify my speaking by saying, “my kids at school. The ones I teach!” I want you all to know that each student is treasured by me and I am grateful that they are in my class! Thank you.
The fourth grade team would like to invite everyone to see and participate in our Titanic STEM Project. Over the last month we have been studying and researching the RMS Titanic. The 4th grade students partnered up to create a diorama of the different rooms within the ship. On Mrs. Smedley’s bulletin board is our diorama and Aurasma display. To enjoy the display completely, your students will be able use the Aurasma app on the IPads with the pictures below the diorama. Before you come down please follow the instructions below:
Scan the attached QR code with each IPad. The code will then take you to our Aurasma page on the internet.
Click on the “Follow” button Click on the “Follow in App” button. You will then be taken to the Aurasma app. (You only have to do this once, after the first time you can simply go straight to the Aurasma App.)
When you are on the Aurasma App you simply point the camera at the picture you want to look at. (The camera is located in the bottom center of your screen, it is a purple circle with an outline of a camera in it.) The dots on the screen will move in and out until they focus on the picture. A smaller picture will then appear. You simply double click on the smaller picture and listen to the details about the Titanic. You can repeat the process of pointing the camera at the pictures until you have listened to all 12.
Please have your students use their headphones with the IPads to ensure they are able to hear the details from the Aurasma App. Because this project is in the hall you are welcome to come anytime that works best with your class, please just remember testing is going on and students will need to be silent in the halls.
Our students have worked very hard on this project and are excited to share it with you.
