Door Decorations!

Hello everyone!

We have had some wonderful winter spirit around Grant School. So many of the faculty and staff have been getting their doors decorated in honor of our 2nd Annual Door Decorating Contest! I am so impressed by the decorations that I've seen. Click the link below to check them out!

Door Decorations

Our door's theme went along with our curriculum on diseases! Students researched different ways to stay safe and healthy during the cold winter months. After gathering their information, they then wrote and typed an informative paragraph. We used Google Drive to publish our work, and students had the opportunity to make the piece unique by adding pictures and changing the text attributes. They each decorated a germ that displays their QR code for others to scan. Each code is special to the individual student, and when scanned it will bring up their specific document!

Pic Collage!


This afternoon we learned about a new app called Pic Collage. The students enjoyed using this app to make fun collages. Now that they know how to use it, we will be able to create collages of pictures for future projects and assignments. We had a ton of fun taking pictures and adding other special effects to our work. Some of us had some pretty great photobombs, too!
